To search for the new development of Industrial application, chemical analysis of volatile constituents from native Schizandra chinensis was conducted by GC and GUMS spectrometric analyses. The chemical composition of the volatile constituents from S. chinensis was confirmed by the aid of Wiley/NBS Library and RI indice searches. The major constituents were a-pinene (7.46%), beta-pinene (30.66%), 1,8-cineole (4.81%), and 4-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)-3-cyclohexene-1-ol (7.90%) from the stems, and camphene (10.05%), beta-pinene (17.67%), sabinene (4.02%), l-limonene (4.04%), 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)benzene (4.97%), linalyl acetate (7.86%), and linalool oxide (4.84%) from the roots. Among them, beta-pinene is a major constituent in the steins and roots of native S. chinensis that presented possibilities for industrial applications.
