title: [Studies on quality standard of Fructus Amomi].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the quality standard of different parts and species of Fructus Amomi from different producing.
  
  
  METHODS
  GC method, ash determination and water determination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The contents of bornyl acetate in different parts and species of Fructus Amomi from different producing areas were obviously different, but the traditional curative effects remained unchanged. The standards for the total ash content, acid-insoluble ash content and water content in Fructus Amomi have been set up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bornyl acetate with a definite content limit should be chosen as the index in studying the quality standard of Fructus Amomi.
