Abstract

The chemical composition of the oil fruits from of Schizandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill, cultivated in Bulgaria were analyzed using GC and GC/MS. The major constituents (over 3%) of the essential oil (1.65%) were found to be a-himachalene (10.83%), alpha-ylangene (10.50%), beta-himachalene (9.02%), schisandrin (8.23%), beta-chamiarene (6.44%) and gamma-muurolene (5.52%). The essential oil studied demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Oleic acid (80.8%), stearic acid (14.5%) and palmitic acid (4.7%) were the main components in the triacylglycerol fraction (24.6%). In the tocopherol fraction a-tocopherol (96.7 %) predominated, and in sterol fraction: beta-sitosterol (91.0%) and campesterol (5.1%).
