Abstract

  The extracted essential oils from the peels of Citrus kinokuni Tanaka collected from the same plant grown in Nancheng town, Fuzhou city, Jiangxi province of China in different time, respectively, were separated by column chromatography through different eluents. The chemical compositions in the essential oils and its separated parts were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System (AMDIS) combined in the GC-MS chemstation was used to deconvolve the overlapped or even embedded peaks in the total ion chromatogram (TIC) obtained by GCMS, and to extract the characteristic ion peaks of corresponding compound. A total of 183 compounds were quantified in which 109 components were identified and 74 components with unknown identities were detected. The essential oils from C. kinokuni Tanaka peel were high in β-pinene, p-cymene, d-limonene, γ-terpinene, α-terpineol, linalool, thymol, (E,E)-α-farnesene, spathulenol, and (-)-spathulenol. At the same time, the chemotype of the essential oils was analyzed, which showed (E,E)-α-farnesene played an important role in differentiating the essential oils from the peel of C. kinokuni Tanaka from that of other varieties of C. reticulata Blanco. The study demonstrated the separation of essential oils by column chromatography through suitable eluents can differentiate the components effectively. In sequence, they are the hydrocarbon terpenes, the other oxygenated terpenes but not the alcohol of terpenes, the alcohol of terpenes, and acids, respectively.
