Abstract:Objective: To develop a method for determination of nerolidol in the volatile oil of Dalbergia odorifera. Method: GC method was used. The samples were separated on Agilent HP-5 column (320μm × 30 m, 0.25μm) with the mobile phase of highly pure N2. How rate was 2 mL-min-1. Result: Linearity of nerolidol was good linearity in the range of 0.059-1.97 mg‘mL-1, and the average recovery was 97.5% , RSD 2.3%. Conclusion: This method is simple, accurate, rapid and reproducible.
