ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo identify and analyze the volatile constituents in the leaves and fruits ofFicus carica.MethodsGas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used.ResultsThe major components detected in volatile oil of the leaves were psoralen (10.12％),β-damascenone (10.17％),benzyl alcohol (4.56％),behenic acid (4.79％),and bergapten (1.99％),etc.The major components detected in volatile oil of the fruits were furfural (10.55％),5-methyl-2-furaldehyde (10.1％),and benzeneacetaldehyde (6.59％),etc.Conclusion A total of 121 volatile constituents are identified in the leaves and 108 in the fruits ofF.carica,among which 103 constituents are identified for the first time in the leaves and 100 in the fruits.Eighteen volatile constituents are identified in both leaves and fruits.
