Abstract

Volatile constituents of the dried flowering aerial parts, fruits and roots of Cardaria draba L. collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The major volatile constituents of the flowering aerial parts were 3-butenyl isothiocyanate (80.5%) and 4-methylsulfinylbutyl isothiocyanate (5.6%), while the main volatile constituents of the fruits were 4-methylsulfinylbutyl isothiocyanate (72.1%), heptadecane (7.0%), hexadecane (6.8%) and octadecane (5.8%).The main volatile constituents of the roots were 4-methylsulfinylbutyl isothiocyanate (30.0%), hexadecanoic acid (24.1%), isobutyl isothiocyanate (14.3%), 3-butenyl isothiocyanate (5.9%) and α-pinene (5.4%). © 2006, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
