Variations in the essential oil composition of Pimpinella anisum L. fruits obtained from different geographical areas of Europe were determined using capillary GC and GC-MS techniques. The essential oil content of the samples was 10.0-53.6 mL kg(-1) and did not confirm to the European Pharmacopoeia standard in 5 samples out of 14. A total of 21 compounds were identified and significant quantitative differences were observed among the samples. The major component was trans-anethole (76.9-93.7%); the other principal compounds in oils were gamma-himachalene (0.4-8.2%), trans-pseudoisoeugenyl 2-methylbutyrate (0.4-6.4%), p-anisaldehyde (tr-5.4%) and methylchavicol (0.5-2.3%). The highest content of trans-anethole (>90%) was found in the samples from Greece, Hungary, Scotland, Lithuania, Italy, and Germany (2 samples). Essential oil of aniseed from Estonia was rich in gamma-himachalene (8.2%) and trans-pseudoisoeugenyl 2-methylbutyrate (6.4%). The sample from France contained the highest amount of anisaldehyde (5.4%) comparing with other samples (0-3.1%). beta-Bourbonene and alpha-farnesene are determined in anise oil for the first time.
采用毛细管气相色谱法和气相色谱 - 质谱联用法，测定了从欧洲不同地理区域获取的茴芹果实挥发油成分的差异。样品的挥发油含量为10.0 - 53.6 mL kg(-1)，14个样品中有5个不符合欧洲药典标准。共鉴定出21种化合物，且样品间存在显著的定量差异。主要成分是反式茴香脑（76.9 - 93.7%）；油中的其他主要化合物为γ-雪松烯（0.4 - 8.2%）、反式假异丁香酚2 - 甲基丁酸酯（0.4 - 6.4%）、对茴香醛（痕量 - 5.4%）和甲基黑椒酚（0.5 - 2.3%）。在来自希腊、匈牙利、苏格兰、立陶宛、意大利和德国的样品（2个）中发现反式茴香脑含量最高（>90%）。爱沙尼亚茴芹籽的挥发油富含γ-雪松烯（8.2%）和反式假异丁香酚2 - 甲基丁酸酯（6.4%）。与其他样品（0 - 3.1%）相比，法国的样品中对茴香醛含量最高（5.4%）。首次在茴芹油中检测到β-波旁烯和α-法呢烯。
