title: [Studies on GC fingerprint of volatile oil of Houttuynia cordata].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish a GC fingerprint of the volatile oil of Houttuynia cordata.
  
  
  METHODS
  The volatile oil was extracted from H. cordata by water stream distillation method, and analyzed by GC coupled with FID.
  
  
  RESULTS
  12 bathes of samples collected from different regions were analyzed; the GC fingerprint of the volatile oil of H. cordata was subsequently established.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The established GC fingerprint can be used for the identification of H. cordata.
