Abstract
Iridals are a class of triterpenoids characteristic of the Iris genera : they have been demonstrated to be the precursors of irones, a group of terpenoids very well known for their smell of violets. This paper r eports the results of the analysis of Iris pallida extracts carried ou t by high performance liquid chromatography coupled through a particle beam interface to a mass spectrometer in different ionization modes. Fourteen iridals and fatty acid iridal esters were characterized in th e Iris pallida rhizome extracts under investigation. The direct identi fication of iridal myristates is reported here for the first time.
