The hydrodistilled essential oils from dried fruits of Zusima absinthifolia and Ferula elaeochytris were analysed by GC-MS.

The major c omponents were octyl acetate (38.4%) and octyl hexanoate (31.9%) in the for mer oil; and nonane (27.1%), alpha -pinene(12.7%) and germacrene B (10.3%) in the latter.
