Abstract
The oil content of samples of aerial parts of Lampsana communis L. subsp. communis, harvested in Indre et Loire (France) at different periods, varies from 1.1 to 2.1%. Nonsaponifiable matter in these samples represents 36.0 to 65.7% of the oil. Yields of triterpene alcohols of nonsaponifiable matter (25.9 to 81.8%) were determined by preparative thin-layer chromatography after saponification. Seven of them were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Six of the fatty acids in the aerial parts have also been identified by GC-MS. The seeds of L. communis contain 2.6% oil.
