Abstract: Essential oil of cumin seeds (Cuminum vyminum L.) was extracted by a microwave-heated purging and adsorption device in yield of 4.45%. The relative amounts of the components in GC-MS analysis were calculated by area normalization. Thirty- four compounds were identified,covering 95.14% of the total peak areas. The main volatiles were cuminyl aldehyde (27.05%),cumin alcohol (25.14%),β-phellandrene (13.34%),γ-terpinene (12.45%) and p-cymene (12.27%).
