The qualitativecompositionandthe quantitativecontentofParmeliaperlatathallusvolatilecompounds was studied by gas chromatography techniques. Plant raw material was harvested in Kazakhstan.

32 volatile compounds were identified as the result of the analysis. Their total content was 1259.00 mg/kg. Carbonic acids and their esters dominated due to their quantitative content (886.00 mg/kg).

Borneol, limonene, camphor, pulegone and thymol were identified among terpene compounds. Terpene compounds total content equaled 44.00 mg/kg. Borneol accumulated at the highest amount (25.00 mg/kg).
