Mao extraction methods of volatile oil from Atractylodes Comparative Study.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 Mao extraction methods of volatile oil from Atractylodes Comparative Study Author: Yang Ling, Ouyang Zhen, Han, Su Shu-lan, Rosanna 【Abstract】 Objective To optimize the extraction of volatile oil from Atractylodes Mao method. Methods steam distillation method, ultrasonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction and supercritical CO2 extraction, in order to yield and volatile oil content of the herb prime target for the study, using gas chromatography pigment content of the herb, to 4 kinds of extraction methods for comparative purposes. The results of supercritical CO2 extraction of essential oil yield of 10.61%, volatile oil content of pigment in the herb 28.62%, are higher than other three kinds of extraction methods. Conclusion supercritical CO2 extraction of volatile oils in the herb yield and oil content of the highest prime is superior to other three kinds of methods for the extraction of volatile oil from Atractylodes Mao. Keywords: Mao herb; volatile oil; extraction method; supercritical CO2 extraction Abstract: ObjectiveTo study different methods of essential oil extraction from Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC.and determine the optimum extraction method.MethodsSteam distillation, Ultra  sonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction and Superfluid extraction  CO2 were compared with the extraction yield and content of Atrctylodin in the essential oil from Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC as indexes.ResultsYield of SFE-CO2 was 10.61%, and content of Atrctylodin of SFE-CO2 was 28.62%, which was higher than the other three methods.ConclusionThrough comparing four kinds of methods, we can see SFE-CO2 is better than the other three methods. It has the best quality about extraction yield and content of Atrctylodin in the essential oil, it is suit for extracting the essential oil from Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC .
