title: [Analysis of the chemical constituents of essential oil from Ligustrum quihoui by GC-MS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  [corrected] To study the chemical constituents of essential oil from Ligustrum quihoui.
  
  
  METHODS
  Essential oil was extracted by steam distillation (SD). The chemical constituents of essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The chemical components in the oil were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by GC-MS, 76 components were seperated and 35 components were identified. The main components are n-Hexadecanoic acid (17.28%), (Z, Z, Z)-9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester (12.13%), Phytol (5.80%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method is simple, reliable and with good reprodutivity.
