Objective: To study the function of retention index (RI) on the qualitative results based on the MS qualitative outcome of volatile oil from Chinese material medica (CMM) as Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride(CRPV). Method: The total ion chromatograms from essential oil of CRPV and referred materials as series n-alkanes were gotten by the GC-MS. The RIs of constituents in volatile oil were calculated by a related formula. The components were recognized by MS and RIs. Result: Some compounds have essentially identical mass spectra
while they can be discriminated by RIs. Conclusion: RI plays an important role in the identification of constituents in essential oil from CMM.
