Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., which is known as omija in South Korea, is mainly cultivated in East Asia. The present study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil from the omija (OMEO) fruit obtained by supercritical fluid extraction using CO2 and to confirm the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of OMEO using HaCaT human keratinocyte and RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. As a result of the chemical composition analysis of OMEO using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, a total of 41 compounds were identified. The detailed analysis results are sesquiterpenoids (16), monoterpenoids (14), ketones (4), alcohols (3), aldehydes (2), acids (1), and aromatic hydrocarbons (1). OMEO significantly reduced the increased ROS levels in HaCaT keratinocytes induced by UV-B irradiation (p < 0.05). It was confirmed that 5 compounds (α-pinene, camphene, β-myrcene, 2-nonanone, and nerolidol) present in OMEO exhibited inhibitory activity on ROS production. Furthermore, OMEO showed excellent anti-inflammatory activity in RAW 264.7 macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide. OMEO effectively inhibited NO production (p < 0.05) by suppressing the expression of the iNOS protein. Finally, OMEO was investigated for exhibition of anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB pathway. Taken together, OMEO could be used as a functional food ingredient with excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

The chemical composition of mentha essential oil and mentha extracts obtained at different pressures/temperatures by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were studied by GC-MS. The menthol content was also determined spectrophotometrically. The predominant compounds in the essential oil and in the CO2 extract obtained at 100 bar were L-menthon and menthole but at higher pressures (from 150 to 400 bar), squalene was dominant. The equation of Naik et al. was used for modelling the mentha-supercritical CO2 system.

The extracts obtained from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) by hydrodistillation and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were qualitative and quantitative analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Essential oil (EO) content of basil sample, determined by an official method, was 0.565% (V/w). The yields of basil obtained by SFE were from 0.719 to 1.483% (w/w), depending on the supercritical fluid (carbon dioxide) density (from 0.378 to 0.929 g mL-1). The dominant compounds detected in all investigated samples (EO obtained by hydrodistillation and different SFE extracts) were: linalool, as the major compound of basil EO (content from 10.14 to 49.79%, w/w), eugenol (from 3.74 to 9.78%) and ?-cardinene (from 3.94 to 8.07%). The quantitative results of GC-MS from peak areas and by GC-FID using external standard method involving main standards, were compared and discussed.
