title: [Constituent analysis of essential oils from radix of Angelica acutiloba].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the chemical constituents of essential oils from Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa cultivated in Sichuan.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chemical constituents were analyzed by GC-MS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  47 chemical compounds were identified and the total content of the identified constituents in the essential oils was 99.02%. The percentage of each constituent was given.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ligustilide (22.8%) and Butylidene phthalide (19.5%) are the main constituents.
