According to the method for detecting the content of the volatile substances in the
aquilaria sinensis, provided by the invention, through pretreatment steps such as extraction of an extraction
solvent, heating
reflux and
filtration, a sample is selectively and preliminarily purified, and the matrix effect of subsequent detection and analysis is effectively reduced; an
inert capillary column is used for separation, high-purity
helium is used as carrier gas, and an optimized heating program and an MRM detection mode are combined; through the synergistic effect of the two components, comprehensive, accurate and high-
repeatability qualitative and quantitative analysis of various volatile substances in the
aquilaria sinensis, especially nookatone which is easy to leak in a conventional method, is realized, and a reliable technical means is provided for accurate identification and quality evaluation of the
aquilaria sinensis.
