OBJECTIVE: To analyze and identify fatty acids from the flowers of Trollius chinensis Bunge. METHODS: To isolate and determine the constituents using GC/MS technique, quantitatively analyze their content by area normalization method. RESULTS: 31 fatty acids and 7 other constituents were isolated and determined. CONCLUSION: The major fatty acids were hexadecanoic (19.85%), (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic (14.37%), tetradecanoic (13.93%), (Z)-9-octadecenoic (13.00%), dodecanoic (6.79%), 10-hydroxy-hexadecanoic (4.37%) and octadecanoic (3.34%) acids.
