Abstract

The qualitative composition and quantitative content of volatile substances of cowberry leaves (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) has been studied by gas chromatography. Identification of substances has been performed based on comparison of the mass spectra obtained with the data of the NIST05-WILEY library (approximately 500000 mass spectra). The retention indices of the components have been calculated according to the results of control tests of substances with addition of the mixture of normal alkanes (C10-C18). In cowberry leaves 51 substances have been found, 50 of them have been identified; squalene, palmitic acid, ethyl palmitate, oleic acid prevail. It has been determined that the content of volatile substances is 0.025%. Monoterpenes are presented by 14 substances, derivatives of linalool, geraniol, thymol and eugenol are prevalent. Caryophyllene oxide and farnesyl acetone C prevail among sesquiterpenes. Among organic and fatty acids the predominant substances are lauric, myristic, pentadecanoic, palmitoleic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenoic acids.
