In this work. for the first time, microwave distillation (MD) coupled with simultaneous headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) was developed for the determination of the volatile components in the Chinese herb, Artemisia capillaris Thunb. The volatile components were rapidly isolated by MD. and simultaneously extracted and concentrated by using a dodecane microdrop. The volatile oil extracted in the microdrop solvent was analyzed by gas chrornatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The experimental parameters of solvent selection, microdrop volume, microwave power. irradiation time and sample amount were investigated, and the method precision was also studied. The optimal parameters were extraction solvent of dodecane. solvent volume of 2.0 mu L, microwave power of 400 W, irradiation time of 4 min, and sample amount of 2.0 g. Thirty-five volatile compounds present in Artemisia capillaris Thunb. were identified by using the proposed method, which were identical with those obtained by the conventional steam distillation method. The experimental results showed that MD-HS-SDME is a simple, rapid, reliable, and solvent-free technique for the determination of volatile compounds in Chinese herbs. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
