Abstract: Objective: To analyze the components and build up the fingerprint of Patrinia Heterophylla (scabra) Bunge (PHB). Method: The essential oil of PHB was extracted by supersound, recirculation, Soxhlet’s apparatus and supercritical fluid extraction method and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS) with NIST library. The samples of PHB from different place were measured and the common peaks in the fingerprint were confirmed. Results: Thirty compounds in essential oil of PHB were identified and eleven of them will be used as common peaks of the fingerprint to control the quality of PHB. Conclusion: The fingerprint can basically illustrate the composing character of essential oil of PHB and be used to distinguish PHB and control its quality.
