Abstract: The volatile constituents of bunting（Scindapsus aureum）and Chinese ivy（Hedera nepalensis var. sinensis）were analysed by dynamic headspace-GC-MS analysis. Twenty-three volatile compounds were preliminary determined including 11 terpene compounds accounting for 64.73%（α-pinene and camphene were accounted for 30.67% and 14.92% respectively）in bunting. Thirty volatile compounds were preliminary determined including 13 terpene compounds accounting for 61.41%（α-pinene and camphene were accounted for 28.98% and 14.70% respectively）in Chinese ivy. The inhibitory effect of α-pinene，camphene and eucalyptole against Penicillium sp.，Aspergillus niger，Cladosporium sp.，Epicoccum sp. and Alternaria sp. were detected. The results showed that the inhibition rates were all 100% at 3 terpene monomers concentration of 50 µL · mL-1. The inhibition rates were 92%，85% and 23% at the concentration of 10 µL · mL-1 respectively，against Aspergillus niger，and were 60%，25% and 74% at the concentration of 5 µL · mL-1 respectively，against Penicillium sp. The bacteriostaticeffect，α-pinene was the best，eucalyptole was second and camphene was the worst in generally.
