Abstract: The essential oil in fresh flowers of wild Chinese chive was extracted by solvent extraction/solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SE/SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) carried out on the non-polar capillary column RTX-5 and the polar capillary column DB-WAX, respectively based on retention index (RI). Totally 47 compounds were identified, including 28 sulfur-containing compounds, 4 aldehydes, 3 alcohols, 3 ketones and 9 hydrocarbons. The major volatiles of fresh flowers of wild Chinese chive were sulfur-containing compounds.

Key words: fresh wild Chinese chive flowers, solvent extraction/solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SE/SAFE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), volatiles
