Identification of chemical components from the Rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS\MS)
Abstract
In current work our main objective was to search the chemical components of volatiles in Acorus
Calamus L. was identified by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS\MS) combined with
headspace (HS) technique. The technique is a very valuable in terms of the extraction yield, sample work up
time, and profiling analysis. According to the our study data, about 78 chemical components were detected from
the rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. by headspace method. The major components are as follows: 75.8% asarone,
79% benzen, 25,8 % trans-β-Ocimene, 20,5% Isocalamendiol, 20,1 % Methyleugenol, 22,6% 3-Carene 17.40%
ß-asarone and 17.1% α-Pinene. In terms of the characteristics of the components contained in this plant and studies
show that Acorus calamus could be a potential source of novel antibacterial, antioxidant ve anticancer agent.
