title: [Analysis of lipid-soluble components of Amomum villosum fruits by GC/MS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyse the lipid-soluble components of Amomum villosum fruits by GC/MS.
  
  
  METHODS
  Lipid-soluble components in pericarps and seeds of A. villosum were extracted by Soxhlet extraction. The Lipid-soluble components were esterified and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-five and thirteen compounds were identified in pericarps and seeds of A. villosum, respectively, mainly including fatty acids and their esters.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate that it is highly potential and significant to exploit its value in foods, medicines and healthy care.
