The qualitative and quantitative differences between the volatiles of fresh and heated cloudberries have been evaluated and the significance of the differences calculated. 14 new cloudberry volatiles have been identified, including vanillin, methyl vanillate, acetovanillone and 3,5-dihydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one. During the heating

Three linear sesquiterpene lactones, anthecotulide (1), hydroxyanthecotulide (2), and acetoxyanthecotulide (3), were isolated from the aerial parts of Anthemis auriculata. Five known flavonoids, taraxa-20(30)en-3beta-ol (4), and methyl vanillate (5) were also isolated. The structures and the relative configuration of the
