Factors Affecting the Extraction Components of Artemisia Argyi Volatile Oil

Abstract

The main components of Artemisia argyi volatile oil include eucalyptol, camphor, pinene, camphene, borneol, and other active substances. These components exhibit various pharmacological effects such as antibacterial, anticancer, choleretic, antiasthmatic, analgesic, hemostatic, and anti-allergic properties. However, due to variations in Artemisia species, growth environments, and extraction methods, the main components and their concentrations in Artemisia argyi volatile oil can vary. This paper systematically summarizes the factors affecting the composition and content of Artemisia argyi volatile oil, detailing how factors such as the source of Artemisia, harvest time, storage methods, plant parts, and extraction methods influence the essential oil components, providing theoretical references for research on extraction processes and high-value utilization of Artemisia argyi.
