Lotus petals (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) were subjected to hydrodistillation to extract the essential oil, which was subsequently analyzed for its chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil was dominated by aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds and their derivatives, such as tricosane (31.5%), pentacosane (19.4%), heneicosane (13.0%), heptacosane (10.8%), and palmitic acid (10.0%).
