Abstract: To investigate the volatile constituents of black coral (BC). METHODS：The volatile constituents of BC were extracted by supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide (CO2-SFE)，separated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with retention index . RESULTS：In total，15 components were reliably identified in BC and found to be biologically active. These included triethyl phosphate， butylated hydroxytoluene，cedrol，n-hexadecanoic acid，squalene and cholesterol. CONCLUSION： It is the first time that volatile constituents of BC were presented. The functions of BC are related to the active chemical compositions.

Key words: black corals, CO2-SFE, GC-MS, retention index
