Analysis of volatile oil components in Cimicifugae rhizoma from different regions by HS-SPME-GC-MS

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was used to extract the volatile components of, <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i> in order to examine the variations in the compound composition of volatile oils from various parts of the plant. Then, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to evaluate the volatile components. The area normalization approach was used to determine each component's relative content. According to the findings, 179 distinct chemical components were found in China's four <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i>-producing regions: Hebei, Jilin, Liaoning, and Sichuan. They were found to have 71, 81, 74, and 71 chemical components, respectively. These four locations' <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i> included sixteen common chemicals. In the four areas of Hebei, Jilin, Liaoning, and Sichuan, <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i> has 29, 28, 29, and 24 distinct chemicals. In Hebei, limonene (24.0&percnt;) was found to have the greatest relative concentration. With relative amounts of 9.2&percnt; and 28.6&percnt;, respectively, D-limonene was likewise found to be the <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i> component with the greatest relative content in Jilin and Sichuan. In Liaoning, (4aS, 8aR) -3,8a-Dimethyl-5-methylene-4,4a, 5,6,7,8,8a, 9-octahydronaphtho [2,3-b] furan (23.3&percnt;) was found to have the greatest relative level. The kinds and quantities of volatile components varied significantly among the four <i>Cimicifugae rhizoma</i>-producing regions, according to this study. This might serve as a foundation for future research on the plant's potential therapeutic components.
