[Analysis on the chemical compositions of the volatile oil from ultramicro-powder and common grinding powder of Cinnamomum cassia].
OBJECTIVE
To analyse and compare the chemical compositions in the volatile oil from Utramicro-powder and Common Grinding Powder of Cinnamomum.


METHODS
The volatile oil was extracted by steam-stilling and analyzed by GC-MS. The relative content of each component was calculated by area normalization method.


RESULTS
34 and 19 peaks were isolated from Ultramicro-powder and Common Grinding Powder of Cinnamomum respectively. All of them were identified.


CONCLUSIONS
The chemical components of the volatile oil from Ultramicro-powder and Common Grinding Powder of Cinnamomum are reported, the results here provides scientific proof for the application in external preparation of Cinnamomum.
