title: [Analysis of constituents of essential oil from the skin of water caltrop].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the constituents of essential oil from the skin of water caltrop.
  
  
  METHODS
  Water steam distillation and GC-MS were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  58 componds were separated respectively. 56 componds being identified which were 96. 5% of the totle essential oil.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Diethyl phthalate, acetamide, N-acetyl-N, N'-1,2-ethanediylbis-, isopropyl palmitate, hexadecanoic acid, Z-11 and octadecanoic acid are the main component of essential oil from the skin of water caltrop.
