Abstract
Camphor tree is the dominant tree species of evergreen broad - leaved forest in subtropical regions of China, and
has important ecological and economic effects. A large number of scholars have studied the camphor extract. In
this paper, the camphor tree powder volatiles were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),
thermogravimetry (TG), pyrolisis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), thermal desorption-gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). Experiments show that camphor volatile composition contains
alcohols, phenol, ester, aromatic, amine. Camphor tree powder was detected in PY-GC-MS analysis, 50 peaks were
detected and 12 chemical constituents were identified and the peak area accounted for 20.78% of the total peak
area. Camphor tree powder was detected in TDS-GC-MS analysis, 9 chemical constituents were identified in 34
peaks.
