Abstract

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the air-dried herb of Potentilla speciosa Willd. was determined to be less than 0.1%. Chemical composition of the oil was determined by GC (FID) and GC/MS techniques. The main components of the oil were the linear aliphatic aldehydes (decanal, undecanal, pentadecanal) and linear aliphatic alcohols (undecanol, hexadecanol). In the terpene fraction, linalool (1.5%), hexahydofarnesylacetone (1.4%), olivetol (1.0%), geranylacetone (0.9%), borneol (0.7%) and alpha-terpineol (0.6%) were also found.
