Schisandra chinensis (Turz.) Baill. - syn.Kadsura chinensis Turcz. - Schisandraceae
五味子 wǔ wèi zi (chin.), five flavor berry, Chinese magnolia-vine, Chinesisches Spaltkörbchen, Chinesischer Limonenbaum
Deciduous dieocicous woody vine, nativ to northern China, Korea, Japan; leaves elliptic to obovate, denticulate to serrulate; flowers solitary, white; fruits pinkish red to red. „This species is a horticultural plant with edible fruit. It is used medicinally and for making rope.“ http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200008486
„Its Chinese name comes from the fact that its berries possess all five basic flavors: salty, sweet, sour, pungent (spicy), and bitter. Sometimes it is more specifically called běi wǔ wèi zi ((Chinese: 北五味子); literally „northern five flavor berry“) to distinguish it from another traditionally medicinal schisandraceous plant Kadsura japonica that grows only in subtropical areas.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schisandra_chinensis
„By steam hydrodistillation, the dried fruits of S. chinensis yielded 0.68% (v/w) of essential oil… Compounds 1,7-dimethyl-7-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-Tricyclo[2.2.1.0 (2,6)]heptane (18.06%), 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydro-7-methyl-4-methylene-1-(1-methylethyl)-naphthalene (15.58%), 2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-3,5,5,9-tetramethyl-1H-benzocycloheptene (11.45%), 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-1,3-Cyclohexadiene (9.90%), (R)-1-methyl-
4-(1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentyl)- Benzene (9.13%), were the major components of the oil of S. chinensis,…
Only three constituents (copaene, α-santalol and α-caryophyllene) of the thirty-nine compounds identified in
S. chinensis previously were found in this study (Zhu et al., 2008). In Zhu’s study, ylangene, 2,6-dimethyl-bicycle [3.1.1]hept-2 ene, 3-methanlo, 1-methyl-8(1-methylethy1) -tricyclo (4.4.0.02, 7)dec-3 ene were determined as major components of the essential oil obtained from S. chinensis. This may possibly be due to
the fact that fruits were grown in different regions, which may have caused the differences in their chemical
composition. Li et al. determined copaene and α-farnesene as the major components of the oil belonging to
S. chinensis collected from Liaoning, China (Li et al.,2001). The differences in chemical composition of
essential oils might depend on the climatic, seasonal, and geographic conditions.“
