| Abstract: | Abstract A novel and convenient method for analyzing a minute amount of volatile components in natural samples was devised. Volatile compounds were absorbed into synthetic triglycerides, triolein and tripalmitin then analyzed by chromatography. The authors entitle this method “Enfleurage Chromatography” depending on a classic method “Enfleurage” for perfume preparation. By this method, methyl salicylate from the root of Filipendula multijuga, F. kamtschatica (Rosaceae) and Polygala senega (Polygalaceae) was detected. Besides, salicylaldehyde was identified in F. kamtshatica. |
