Abstract:

The essential oil from Cinnamomum cassia Presl was studied by non-polar solvent microwave-assisted extraction(NPSMAE) coupled with gas chromatagraphy-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). The cinnamaldehyde as a main component in the essential oil was determined. The effects of type of solvent, temperature, extraction time and ratio of solid to solvent(m/V) were examined and optimized. Compared with UAE and HD, NPSMAE has several advantages such as shorter extraction time and higher extraction yield. The proposed method is suitable for the extraction of essential oil.
