Objective: This article aimed to study the chemical components of essential oils from Chloranthus henryi and their antioxidant activity. Method: The essential oil was extracted by steam distillation
and its constituents were identified by GC-MS.The antioxidant activity of the essential oil was evaluated on its ability of total reducing and scavenging of 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) free radical by spectrophotometry. Result: Twenty-one compounds
accounting for 82.30% of the essential oil
were identified. The ability of scavenging DPPH free radical of the essential oils was weak
while the total reducing ability was strong. Conclusion: The main chemical constituents of the essential oil from C. henryi were bornyl acetate (45.43%)
3-methylene-2-norbornanone(12.36%) and camphene (8.74%). And the essential oil showed some antioxidant activity.
