Active components in leaves of Rhus chinensis mill

Abstract

Rhus chinensis Mill is a high-quality eco-economic resource for potential sustainable development. To analyze the chemical constituents of extracts from the leaves of Rhus chinensis Mill for resource values, the following analytical methods were performed: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), thermogravimetry, and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS). The results showed that the leaves of Rhus chinensis Mill were rich in volatile substances that could be exploited and used.
