Keyword: Artemisia annua; essential oils; GC-MS;
Abstract: The essential oils were extracted with steam distillation from Artemisia annua that collected from Yunyang,Chongqing,China.The chemical constituents of the oils were analyzed with GC-MS.Twenty-nine and twenty-eight compounds were identified from the oils of the A.annua cultivated in winter and in spring,respectively,while only twenty-one compounds were identified from the wild A.annua oils.Significant compositional differences were detected from the three oils,both the cultivated share sixteen compounds.However,the cultivated and the wild only share six compounds.All of these differences show the genotype playing an important role in the biosynthesis of the essential oils,while climate condition has greatly affected to the relative content of each compound in the essential oils,especially for Artemisia ketone and camphor.The above informations provides a useful reference for further investigation of the metabolic pathway of terpenes of A.annua essential oils.
