산초나무는 잎에서 총 52개, 열매에서 48개 향기 성분이 동정되었으며, 4개 지역에서 잎의 주요 공통 성분은 (E)-2-hexenal, α-pinene, (Z)-ocimene+limonene, estragole, germacrene-d 이였으며, 열매에서는 estragole이였다. Hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, n-hexanol 성분은 잎에서만 검출되었고, undecanone 성분은 열매에서만 나타났다. 지역간 큰 차이를 보인 잎의 정유성분은 hexanal, azulene이었고, 열매에서는 (Z)-ocimene+limonene이였다. 초피나무 잎에서 총 30개, 열매에서 27개 향기 성분이 동정되었으며, 잎의 주요 공통 성분은 백양사와 내장사지역의 성분이 α-pinene, β-phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, citronellal이였고, 통도사 지역은 (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, α-pinene, myrcene이 주요성분 이였다. 백양사와 내장사에서 채취한 열매의 공통 성분은 myrcene, (Z)-ocimene+limonene, β-phellandrene이였고, 통도사에서는 β-phellandrene, citronellal, geranyl acetate이 주성분이였다.
Volatile components in the leaves and fruits of Z. schinjfolium and Z. piperitum were analyzed by Headspace SPME(Solid phase Microextraction). Fifty two and 48 components in the leaves and fruits, repectively, were identified in Z. schinifolium. (E)-2-hexenal, α-pinene, (Z)-ocimene+limonene, estragole, germacrene-d were detected at common components in the leaves and estragole in the fruits of Z. schinjfolium. Regardless of collection sites hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, n-hexanol were appeared in the leaves while undecanone in the fruits. Thirty and 27 components in the leaves and fruits, respectively, were identified in Z. piperitum. α-pinene, β-phellandrene, 1,8-cineole, citronellal and myrcene, (Z)-ocimene+limonene, β-phellandrene were appeared as common components in the leaves and fruits collected from Baeck-yang-sa and Nae-jang-sa. (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, α-pinene myrcene and β-phellandrene, citronellal, geranyl acetate were major components in the leaves and fruits from Tong-do-sa.
