Abstract

Magnolia grandiflora Linn belonging to the Magnoliaceae family has been used to treat hypertension for many years in China. Based on microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the volatile compounds of Magnolia grandiflora L. were determined. Results indicated that the optimum conditions of the determination of the volatile compounds in Magnolia grandiflora L. were achieved with fiber coating of carboxen/polidimethylsiloxane, microwave power of 700 W and irradiation time of 4 min. Under the optimal conditions, for the first time, 48 volatile compounds were separated and identified from the fresh leaves of Magnolia grandiflora L. The highest content component of 48 compounds was γ-elemene (15.67%). Relative standard deviation (RSD) values less than 11% shows that the present method has good precision. The experimental results demonstrate that MAE-HS-SPME followed by GC-MS is a simple, time-saving solvent-free method, and it is a potential analytic tool for the determination of the volatile compounds in plant materials.
