Abstract: Simultaneous distillation-extractor was used for extracting the volatile substances of Capsella bursa-pastoris L.. The content of the volatile oil is 0.106%, 17 chemical components were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The identified compounds are up to 95.02% of the total volatile substances. (Z) -3-Hexen -1-ol (43.12%),(Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, acetate(14.36%), dimethyl trisulfide(9.77%), acetic acid, 1-methylethyl ester(7.08%), 1-hexanol (2.57%), pentadecane (2.37%), isopropyl alcohol(2.21%), 3-methylheptyl acetate(1.98%), dimethyl sulfone(1.85%), hexanal, 4,4-dimethyl-(1.48%) and butylated hydroxytoluene (1.42%) are the major concentrations of the volatile components.
