Abstract
The study investigated essential oils of berries and green biomass of the sea buckthorn at various growth stages. Plant material of H. rhamnoides ssp. mongolica was collected in the experimental fields of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS (Siberia, Russia). Volatile compounds and essential oils were detected. Green spring shoots without leaves, first-year seedlings without leaves and berries were analyzed. In all studied exemplars, 103 volatile compounds were defined among which considerable proportion wasn’t found in a sea-buckthorn earlier. Phenylpropanoids prevailed in essential oils composition from seedlings. Alkanes and phenylpropanoids prevailed in shoots. Berries contained mostly carboxylic acids and their esters. These data can be applied to a fingerprint of various cultivars of a sea-buckthorn with relevance to food science and technology.

Summary
Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile secondary metabolites of plants. They can be extracted from various organs: leaves, fruits, roots, etc. Essential oils often define plant taste, as well as its therapeutic potential. Numerous studies demonstrated their antimicrobial, antioxidant, spasmolytic, anti-inflammatory, and relaxing effects [1] [2] [3]. Hirvi and Honkanen [9] demonstrated that essential oils of H. rhamnoides fruit consist mainly of esters of carboxylic acids. All previous works are constructed on the research of essential oils of berries of a sea-buckthorn. We investigated essential oils of berries and green biomass of the sea buckthorn at various growth stages
