Objective: To compare and analyze the difference in content and chemical components of essential oil from Artemisia argyi
providing scientific basis for the comprehensive development and utilization of A. argyi. Method: The essential oil from A. argyi leaves
flowers and stems as well as from different growing periods from May to October was extracted by steam distillation (SD) and chemical components were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique (GC-MS). Result: The essential oil content from A. argyi leaves was significantly higher than those from flowers and stems
and the types and relative contents of the essential oil from A. argyi leaves were higher than those from flowers and stems. There was great difference in essential oil content from A. argyi among different harvesting periods
and the content was highest in June. SD-GC-MS analysis showed that the essential oil from A. argyi during different harvest periods had high content of eucalyptol
alcanfor
orneol and α-pinene. Conclusion: Leaves are the best medicinal parts of A. argyi
and June is the optimum harvest time for A. argyi.
