Headspace Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Volatile Components of Common Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) and Its Preparations

Аннотация

Direct headspace gas chromatographic analysis with flame ionization and mass spectrometric detection was used to identify and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the headspace of the medicinal plant material of Common Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) and preparations of its oil and tablet dry extract. All the main components of the headspace of medicinal plant raw material of Tansy are present in the headspace of phytopreparations. The retention indices of VOCs \(\left( {I_{i}^{T}} \right)\) were determined for the linear programmed temperature of a column with a 5% diphenyl–95% dimethylpolysiloxane stationary phase and the relative peak areas (A_rl,i) in the chromatogram are determined. It is shown that the specific chromatographic profiles of VOCs, which represent the set of values of \(I_{i}^{T}\) and A_rl,i, for Tansy samples from different regions of Russia are similar.
