Аннотация:We studied the composition of hydrocarbons from a rock sample containing mumijo by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The electron ionization mass spectra and retention characteristics revealed the structure of the detected components. Long-chain n-alkanes C23–C29 and mono- and dimethylalkanes C28—C32 were identified in the extract. Hydrocarbons extracted from the mumijo-containing rock do not relate to hydrocarbons of oil, bitumen, coal, or oil shales. These hydrocarbons are in close association with mumijo formed during the aquatic transfer of biochemical components of small rodent excrements.
