Abstract: By separating fat-soluble substances extracted from chestnut kernel with ether in column of silica gel and alumina, the non-polarity compounds(0.79%), weak polarity compounds(0.85%), and polarity compounds(98.36%), were found in 68 organic compounds by GC-MS. Among them fatty acids (82.65%) and fatty acid ester(16.09%)are of high relative abundance in quantity, among which linoleic acids, stigmastans, squalenes, dimethoxys, and beta-tocopherols are good to human health.

Key words: chestnut kernel, fat-soluble constituent, GC-MS, analysis, characteristics
