Abstract: Volatile oils extracted from the fruits of Schisandra spenanthera Rehd. et Wils. and Schisandra chinensis (Turcz) Baill. with supercritical CO2 fluid were analyzed for their chemical composition by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based on area normalization. Results indicated that the major components in volatile oils were terpendids with relative contents of 62.97% and 73.05%. The major compounds in volatile oil extracted from Schisandra spenanthera β-himachalene (7.88%), 2,6-dimethyl-6-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl) bicyclo [3,1,1] hep-2-ene (6.44%), and δ-elemene (6.39%). The major compounds in volatile oil extracted from Schisandra chinensis were α-ylangene (19.09%), α-curcumene (16.03%) and β-himachalene (7.71%).

Key words: Schisandra spenanthera Rehd. et Wils., Schisandra chinensis (Turcz) Baill., volatile oil, composition analysis
