Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the essential oil composition of the flower of Jasminum officinale L. var. grandifloroum L. (Jasminum grandiflorum) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Methods: The optimum GC-MS conditions used for the analysis were 250 ^oC inlet temperature, 150 ^oC MSD detector temperature, and GC oven temperature program as follows: 100 ^oC initial temperature, increased to 270 ^oC at 4 ^oC/min, final temperature 270 ^oC and held for 7.5 min.

Results: Thirty compounds were identified, representing 99.28 % of the oil content. The major volatile components of the flower were 3,7,11,15- tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol（phytol） (25.77 %), 3,7,11-trimethyldodeca -1,6,10-trien-3-ol (12.54 %) and 3,7,11,15- tetramethyl -1-Hexadecen-3-ol (12.42 %).

Conclusion: The results show that phytol is the major volatile component of Jasminum grandiflorum.
