丁香为Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb.的干燥花蕾。母丁香为同植物的干燥果实。目前母丁香来源困难。为探讨以丁香代替母丁香的可能性,我们进行了两种丁香的挥发油含量及其理化性质的比较,并以TLC法和GC法对比了其化学成分。结果表明,丁香的挥发油含量约为母丁香的九倍,两种油的理化特性其本一致,基本成分丁香酚含量接近,除母丁香油中明显多一个成分外,其他成分大致相同。 Clove is a dried bud of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb. The mother clove is the dry fruit of the same plant. The current source of female cloves is difficult. To explore the possibility of using lilac to replace the female cloves, we compared the volatile oil content and physicochemical properties of the two cloves, and compared their chemical constituents by TLC and GC methods. The results showed that the volatile oil content of clove was about nine times that of mother clove. The physicochemical properties of the two oils were the same, and the eugenol content of the basic components was close. Except for one component in mother clove oil, the other components were roughly the same.
