Assessment of quality in volatile oil from three basic sources of Xinyi from Hubei by anatomy, GC-MS, and chemometric methods.

ABSTRACT: "Xinyi" (Magnolia biondii Pampan., Magnolia denudata Desr., and Magnolia sprengeri Pampan.) is a traditional Chinese medicine listed in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. "Xinyi" has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects, and has significant curative effects in the treatment of acute and chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and other rhinitis symptoms. However, comparative quality assessments of these three species are scarce. This study investigated the variations in the volatile oil content and composition in the flower buds of M. biondii, M. denudata, and M. sprengeri using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the microscopic analysis at different growth stages. This study indicated the following findings. (1) The vola
