Abstract :In current work our main objective was to search the chemical components of volatiles in Acorus Calamus L. was identified by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS\MS) combined with headspace (HS) technique. The technique is a very valuable in terms of the extraction yield, sample work up time, and profiling analysis. According to the our study data, about 78 chemical components were detected from the rhizomes of Acorus calamus L. by headspace method. The major components are as follows: 75.8% asarone, 79% benzen, 25,8 % trans-β-Ocimene, 20,5% Isocalamendiol, 20,1 % Methyleugenol, 22,6% 3-Carene 17.40% ß-asarone and 17.1% α-Pinene. In terms of the characteristics of the components contained in this plant and studies show that Acorus calamus could be a potential source of novel antibacterial, antioxidant ve anticancer agent.
