Abstract

The conditions for microwave-assisted extracting oil from Zanthorylum bungeanum seeds were studied and its chemical composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The effects of extract medium, microwave power, time and ratio of liquid to solid on extraction yield of Zanthorvlure bungeanum oil were investigated, using an orthogonal array design. The experimental results showed that using petroleum ether as extract medium, microwave power 350 w, solid-to-solvent ratio 1:5 (g/mL), 60 sec, can obtained 7.85% of Zanthorylum bungeanum oil. Thirty-three substances in Zanthorylum bungeanum oil were authenticated by GC-MS, of which 33 were identified for the first time and its chemical composition was analyzed. Accounting for 97.82% of the total volatile compounds.
