Hierochloe odorata L.

The volatile constituents were extracted with ethanol from the roots and aerial parts of Hierochloe odorata L. var. pubescens Kryl. growing in the east of China. These  were examined by a combination of gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques. A total of 169 volatile compounds were identified. This volatile oil was rich in coumarin, which accounted for 10.3 % of the root oil and 24.9% of the aerial part oil. Quantitative analysis by HPLC showed that ethanol extract of the roots to contain 3.57% (m/m) of coumarin and that of the aerial parts 3.72% (m/m).
