Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents of the essential oils from Forsythis suspense by different extraction method. Method: The essential oils were extracted by steam distillation (SD) and by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SFE) accordingly
and then the constituents were separated and identified by GC-MS. Result: Eighty-seven compounds were isolated and 58 compounds were identified by SD that composed about 96.99% of the total essential oils;And 100 compounds were isolated and 39 compounds were identified by SFE that composed about 60.50% of the total essential oils. Conclusion: The principal chemical constituents of the essential oils by SD are β-pinene
α-pinene (-)-4-terpineol
p-cymene.And the principal chemical constituents of the essential oils by SFE are nootkatone
β-pinene
transethyl-p-methoxycinnamate.There are differences in the chemical constituents and contents by the two extraction methods.
