Abstract

The volatile aroma constituents of Eclipta prostrata L. (leaves, stems, and flowers) were isolated by hydro-distillation extraction method and analyzed by GC/MS. The yield of Eclipta prostrata L. essential oil was 0.1% (v/w), and its color was yellow. Sixty-eight volatile flavor compounds, which make up 71.15% of the total volatile composition of the essential oil were tentatively characterized. It contained 35 hydrocarbons (56.25%) with sesquiterpene predominating, 12 alcohols (3.05%), 8 ketones (3.83%), 9 aldehydes (1.86%), 2 oxides (6.03%), and 2 esters (0.13%). ${\alpha}$-Humulene, 6,9-heptadecadiene, (E)-${\beta}$-farnesene, and ${\alpha}$-phellandrene were the major abundant aroma components in Eclipta prostrata L., aromatic and medicinal plant.
