Abstract:

The essential oil compositions of seeds of Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottl. Ex Spreng) “791”, “Pingfeng o.6” and “Pingfeng No.1”were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed hat 27 common components are identified, accounting for 92.79%, 93.00% and 92.01% of the total essential oil, respectively. Hexanal (17.74%), 10-nonadecanen-2-one (10.39%) and 2-pentyl furan (6.50%) are the main constituents of essential oil of Chinese chive“ 791” seed, which include 7 disulfide compounds, 1 tetrasulfide compound, 3 aldehyde compounds, 2 ketone compounds and 3 alcohol compounds. The total content of disulfide compounds is 32.43%.

Key words: essential oil, Chinese chive seed, composition analysis
