Abstract

The volatile organic acids in the pericarps of Trichosanthes kirilowii, T. rosthornii, T. truncata, T. hupehensis and T. cucumeroides (Cucurbitaceae) were analyzed by methylation, GC and GC-MS-DS. The results showed that they were composed of fifteen long-chain fatty acids, such as palmitic, linolenic, linoleic, lauric, myristic acid, etc.
