Determination of the volatile constituents of ChineseCoriandrum sativum L. by gas chromatography—Mass spectrometry with solid-phase microextraction

Abstract

SummaryFifteen main volatile compounds in Chinese Coriandrum sativum L.were separated and identified by gas chromatography -mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Fresh Chinese Coriandrum sativum L. was ground and its volatile compounds were extracted by SPME with a 100 gm polydimethylsiloxane fiber. The fibers were desorbed in a GC injection liner at 250 ~ for 3 min. More than 15 peaks were separated by headspace SPME-GC-MS analysis. The main compounds in headspace of Coriandrum sativum L. identified by mass spectrometry included decanal, 2-decenal, 1-decanol, trans-2-decen-l-ol, trans-2-decen-l-al, trans-2-tridecenal etc, which were verified by reference compounds. Their relative contents were calculated on basis of peak areas. SPME extraction conditions and capillary chromatography column used to separate the volatile compounds were investigated.

Analysis of the Essential Oils of Coriandrum sativum Using GC-MS Coupled with Chemometric Resolution Methods

“…Potter and Fagerson 19) detected 41 peaks and identified 37 of them by GC-MS in CSL that grew in Orange, Massachusetts. A total of 35,8,19, and 18 components in our study are common with those reported by Eyres et al, 18) Deng et al, 16) Matasyoh et al, 9) and Potter and Fagerson, 19) respectively (Table 1). Differences of the relative contents for each common component were observed among different studies (Table 1).…”

“…Compared with the literature, 9,[13][14][15][16][17]19,20) more components (total of 118 components were detected and 104 identified) can be analyzed and identified by the GC-MS coupled with the HELP method in our study. Eyres et al 18) separated 98 components and identified 82 of them in cultured CSL by GCϫGC-TOF-MS. Deng et al 16) identified 15 compounds in CSL grown in Shanghai, China by solid-phase microextraction and GC-MS. Matasyoh et al 9) detected 27 peaks and identified 24 components from the essential oils of fresh coriander leaves collected in Kenya.…”

“…10) Several studies have been done on the essential oil composition of CSL plants grown in different places. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] However, the identification of components was performed only through retention indices or direct similarity searches in the mass spectral libraries attached to the GC-MS instruments. So far, only a few components have been identified and the results may even be unreliable or may have been misidentified because heteroscedastic noise and overlapping peaks are always a problem in the analysis of essential oils.…”

Rapid determination of volatile composition from Polygala furcata Royle by MAE–HS-SPME followed by GC–MS

“…However, so far, the essential oils components in P. furcata Royle have not received much attention. Therefore, in the current work, for the Wrst time, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] followed by HS-SPME [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] and GC-MS was developed for the fast determination of volatile chemical compositions in the fresh aerial parts of P. furcata Royle. The experimental parameters were studied by orthogonal array design, and the precision of the method was also investigated.…”
