[Analysis of chemical constituents of volatile oil in Armeniaca mume Sieb from different habitats by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry].
OBJECTIVE
To analyse chemical constituents of volatile oil in Armeniaca mume Sieb.


METHODS
After stream distillation, the volatile oil was extracted with ether and concentrated. Then it was analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.


RESULTS
More than 70 different compounds were separated and identified from the volatile oil in A. mume. The identified constituents from each kind of A. mume represent about 90% of the total volatile oil.


CONCLUSIONS
The main compounds of the volatile oil in A. mume were hexadecanoic acid, linoleic acid, benzoic acid, furfural, benzaldehyde, benzenemethanol, etc.
