Abstract

In order to find the effective components and new pharmaceutical effect of Alpinia officinarum, and further exploit it, we extracted its essential oils with the technique of Supercritical-CO2 fluid, then confirmed there were 27 components in Pot I And 111 components in Pot II by using the chemical component analysis and the computer information retrieval in the GC-MS system.
