title: Polysulfanes in the volatile oils of ferula species.
abstract: A study on the volatile oils of oleogum resin of FERULA SINKIANGENSIS and F. FUKANENSIS by use of GC-MS (CI/EI) showed the presence of twenty-six polysulfanes (disulfanes, trisulfanes, thio-disulfanes, and di-disulfanes). The main component was SEC-butyl- CIS-1-propenyl disulfane in F. SINKIANGENSIS, and SEC-butyl- TRANS-1-propenyl disulfane in F. FUKANENSIS. As minor components, seven new polysulfanes were detected in the oils for the first time.
