Abstract:Cardamine violifolia is a unique selenium hyperaccumulating vegetable in China, but its flowers are commonly wasted in large‐scale cultivation. To better utilize this resource, this study explored the selenium content, chemical composition, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of hydro‐distilling essential oil (EO) and hydrosol from C. violifolia flowers. ICP‐MS results indicated that the EO and hydrosol contained selenium reaching 13.66 ± 2.82 mg/kg and 0.0084 ± 0.0013 mg/kg, respectively. GC‐MS analysis rev… Show more
