2018 ASHS Annual Conference

The productivity of Angelica Gigas NakaI essential Oil was investigated using the Steam-water distillation method for aromatherapy essential oil production. And the aroma Compounds of the produced Angelica Gigas NakaI essential oil was analyzed with the GC-MS. Essential oils produced from water-steam distillation were extracted from 2.5 to 2.7 milliliters per kg, and byproduct hydrosol was calculated to produce 70L. After analyzing the essential oil produced by the steam-water distillation method with GC-MS, the major products such as 2-methyl octane, 2, 4, 6-trimnehyhyl heptane, α-pinene, camphene, α-limonene, and β-eudesmol were analyzed. Terpenoid compounds were identified as α-pinene, β-eudesmol, α-limonene, camphene, vervenol, α-eudesmol, sphatulenol, verbenone, and α-murrolene. Eugenol and β-eudesmol have anti-inflammatory and cancer-causing effects, and among these components β-eudesmol was classified as a major aroma component of Angelica gigas nakaI. The most common volatile organic compounds for Angelica Gigas NakaI are α-pinene, β-eudesmol, and others, most of them terpenoid compounds to more than 70 % of their total content. Thus, the volatile aromatic component analysis results show that it can be used as a natural essential oil for aromatherapy purposes.
