Objective: To analyze volatile oil in Curcumae Radix pieces from four different sources and find out the common and different components. Method: The volatile oil in Curcumae Radix pieces from four different sources were extracted by steam distillation and determined by GC-MS,carrier gas was helium,temperature was rose by program,ionization mode was electron bombardment ion source. Result: Fifty components were determined in volatile oil in Curcumae Radix pieces from four different sources and three common components were found in four Curcumae Radix pieces;thirteen common components were found in three Curcumae Radix pieces;fifteen common components were found in two Curcumae Radix pieces;thirty-one components were found in two or more Curcuma Radix pieces,and the proportion was 62%. Conclusion: Curcumae Radix pieces from four different sources have common and interactive components in volatile oil.
