Abstract: Supercritical carbon dioxide fluid (SCDF) extract from litchi seeds was prepared and analyzed by GC-MS for volatile composition. The extraction efficiency of SCDF extract was 4.26%. A total of 67 compounds were identified from the extract, mainly including phytosterols, terpenoids, unsaturated fatty acids, hexadecanoic acid, fatty acid ester and vitamin E with relative contents of 31.3%, 25.7%, 12.03%, 9.63%, 7.53% and 7.21%, respectively.

Key words: litchi seeds, supercritical CO2 fluid extraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
