Cotton stalk has the great potential of degradable biomaterials.Therefore, GC/MS was used to analyze the components of the volatiles from cotton stalk to review environment-friendliness. Relative content of each component was determined by area normalization. The main and abundant constituents were mandelamide(24.04%), 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxanonadecane, 18-propyl-(6.27%), 2,4,7(1H,3H,8H)-pteridinetrione(5.58%), cyclohexyl-15-crown-5(4.99%), .alpha.-tocopherol-.beta.-D-mannoside(4.03%), phytol(3.7%), 4-((1E)-3-hydroxy-1- propenyl)-2-methoxyphenol...
