Abstract: The fatty acids in chicory was extracted by Soxhlet extraction. The fatty acids in the oil were esterified and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). 12 fatty acids were identified in the chicory. The contents of the identified fatty acids accounted to 90.21%, while, the unsaturated fatty acids were 52.09%, and saturated fatty acids were 38.12%.

Key words: chicory, fatty acid, GC/MS, separation and identificaton
