[Analysis of the volatile oils chemical constituents of roots of Actinidia deliciosa].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the volatile oils chemical constituents of roots of Actinidia deliciosa. METHODS: The volatile oils fraction of roots of Actinidia deliciosa. were extracted by water vapor distilling, and then the constituents were separated and identified, by GC-MS. RESULTS: 16 compounds were identified, accounting for 89.37% of all quantity. CONCLUSION: The principal volatile oils chemical constituents are Phenol, 2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethl)-; 2-Propenoic acid, 3-(4-methox yphenyl)-, ethyl ester; 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester; Cyclotetrasiloxane, octamethyl-.
