Abstract

The composition of the volatile oil of Kanzou from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. var. glandulifera Regel et Herder growing in northeast China has been investigated by capillary GC, GC–MS and ^1^H‐NMR. The oil contained 81 volatile components of which 35.0% were terpenoid. The main constituents were octanoic acid (11.4%), paeonol (8.9%), octadecane (8.6%), benzaldehyde (7.5%), α‐terpineol (7.5%) and 4‐terpineol (7.2%).
