title: [Analysis of volatile oil from Gerbera piloselloides by GC-MS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the chemical components of volatile oil from Gerbera piloselloides.
  
  
  METHODS
  Volatile oil was extracted from Gerbera piloselloides by steam distillation, and its chemical components were identified by GC-MS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  22 peaks were detected, among which 17 compounds were identified, accounting for 86.18% of total peak area.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the total volatile oil from Gerbera piloselloides, Neryl(s)-2-methylbutanoate (35.99%), 4-hydroxy-3-methylacetophenone (8.74%) and n-Hexadecanoic acid (7.48%) are the main components.
