Abstract: The simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE)of essential oil from dry roots of Rhodiola Crenulata was adopted.GC/MS was used for determination of the composition of essential oil. By capillary chromatography, 234 peaks were isolated,and fifty-four compounds of them were identified. The main chemical components were 2-methyl-2-Buten-1-ol, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-Octadien-3-ol,4 -methyl-Phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy-Phenol, Dibutyl phthalate,2 ,6,10,14-tetramethyl-Hexadecane,etc.
