(-) not detected. % Figures are their relative proportions as percent of total amount (Cts), %(RSD), n = 3. The characteristic compounds are indicated in bold. Column: DB-624 (6% cyanopropyl phenyl polydimethylsiloxane, 1 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) fused silica capillary column was used. Samples of wild H. cordata Thunb were collected from Ulreung island(A,A′,A′′), Anmyeon island(B,B′,B′′), Jeju island(C,C′,C′′), Hampyeong(D,D′,D′′), and Haenam(E,E′,E′′) in South Korea.
