The hydrodistilled essential oils from dried fruits of Zusima absinthifolia and Ferula elaeochytris were analysed by GC-MS. Sixteen components, representing 95.8% of the oil in Zosima absinthifolia, and 43 components, making up 76.7% of the oil of Ferula elaeochytris, were characterized. The major components were octyl acetate (38.4%) and octyl hexanoate (31.9%) in the former oil; and nonane (27.1%), alpha -pinene(12.7%) and germacrene B (10.3%) in the latter.
