[Analysis of Volatile Components of Polypodium hastatum by GC-MS]
Objective:
To further reveal the chemical constituents of Polypodium hastatum, volatile components from this plant were investigated.
Methods:
The volatile components were extracted under reflux from the whole plant of Polypodium hastatum, and then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by GC-MS.
Results:
60 volatile components were detected and of all components detected, the structures and relative contents of 34 volatile compounds were elucidated.
Conclusion:
In the volatile components identified, most are fatty acid esters, especially methyl and ethyl esters, which compose the major volatile chemical constituents of Polypodium hastatum.
