精油是天然活性成分,是由一类化学成分组成的复杂体,通过多组分、多指标的分析检测,对其整体信息予以控制,才能科学有效地评价其质量、品质。指纹图谱技术作为复杂化学体系分析的重要方法,可综合反映出精油组分的色谱特征信息,达到全面质量控制的目的。本文综述了指纹图谱技术及其在精油质量分析中的现状与应用,旨在建立规范的精油色谱指纹图谱并推广应用,这对精油的质量控制和标准完善,以及我国精油植物资源的开发具有十分重要的意义。
Essential oil is a natural active constituent and a complex system,which is composed of a type of chemical components.It is believed that multi-component and multi-index analysis could present whole chemical information and offer a scientifically and effectively quality evalu-ation of essential oil.Fingerprint technology is an important analysis method for complicated chemical systems,which could reflect the chromatographic characteristic information of essen-tial oils comprehensively and achieve the goal of total quality control.This paper reviews the present situation and application of fingerprint technique in quality analysis of essential oil.It is of significance for the establishment and the popularization of standardized fingerprints to im-prove the quality control and the Chinese standards of essential oil,as well as develop the es-sential oil resources of plants in China.
