Abstract. The hydrocarbon fraction of Achillea asplenifolia Vent. has been analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and GC- mass spectrometry (GC-MS). It was found to consist of the usual odd-carbon number dominant distribution of n-alkane homologues (C21-C33). The main compound was nonacosane (C29, 25.5%) and the carbon preference index (CPI) was low (6.87).
Key words:  Achillea asplenifolia, n-alkanes, n-nonacosane

ALKANI IZ ACHILLEA ASPLENIFOLIA VENT.
U ovom radu ispitivana je ugljovodonična frakcija ekstrakta Achillea asplenifolia Vent. gasnom hromatografijom (GC) i GC- masenom spektrometrijom (GC-MS). Rezultati su pokazali uobičajenu dominantnu raspodelu n-alkana sa neparnim brojem C-atoma (C21-C33). Nonakozan (C29) je najzastupljenije jedinjenje (25,5%). Preferencijalni ugljenični indeks (odnos alkana sa neparnim i parnim brojem C-atoma, CPI) ima malu vrednost (6,87).
