[Identification method with significant specificity of volatile oil of Pogostemon cablin].
OBJECTIVE
To develop an identification method with significant specificity for patchouli oil.


METHODS
The fingerprint was performed by gas chromatography with patchouli alcohol and pogostone as chemical markers.


RESULTS
The similarity of 12 samples were higher than 0.9 and it can be used to identify the characteristics of patchouli oil.


CONCLUSIONS
The GC fingerprint can be used for identification of patchouli oil.
