Pinus kwangtungensis Chun amp Tsiang collected in Hang Kia-Pa Co Nature Reserve Hoa Binh province were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a combination of GC-FID GC-MS and NMR Gas Chromatography Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR analysis . The oil yields were and respectively v w on dry weight basis . Twenty-seven compounds were detected in both needle and cone oils accounting for and of the whole composition respectively. The main components identified in the needle oil were α-pinene β-pinene -3-carene limonene and E-β-caryophyllene . The cone oil contained mainly α-pinene β-pinene -3-carene limonene and E-β-caryophyllene . This is the first report on the chemical composition of the cone essential oil of P. fenzeliana from Vietnam. Keywords Pinus fenzeliana α-pinene β-pinene -3-carene limonene and E-β-caryophyllene.
