title: [Analysis of essential oil extracted from Lactuca sativa seeds growing in Xinjiang by GC-MS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the components of essential oil from Lactuca sativa seeds growing in Xinjiang.
  
  
  METHODS
  The components of essential oil from Lactuca sativa seeds were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
  
  
  RESULTS
  62 components were identified from 71 separated peaks,amounting to total mass fraction 95.07%. The dominant compounds were n-Hexanol (36.31%), n-Hexanal (13.71%), trans-2-Octen-l-ol (8.09%) and 2-n-Pentylfuran (4.41%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The research provides a theoretical basis for the exploitation and use of Lactuca sativa seeds resource.
