Résumé
AIM:To analyse the chemical constituents of volatile components from Viola yedoensis Makino. METHODS: The essential oils from Viola yedoensis Makino(collected from Jinhua city and Changchun city) were extracted by steam distillation.The chemical compounds were separated and identified by GC-MS.The relative content of each component was determined by area normalization. RESULTS: Twenty-five and twenty-three constituents were separated from Viola yedoensis Makino collected from Changchun city and Jinhua city;twenty-one and twenty-two compounds were identified respectively.The ratios of identification of total compounds were 88.00% and 91.30% respectively. CONCLUSION: There are significant difference between two varieties of Viola yedoensis Makino,the main coustituents in each plant are n-hexadecanoic acid(16.77%)and phytol(26.97%).
