People are eager to find new substances from sustainable forest products for energy research. As an important forest resource, Sambucus williamsii Hance has gradually attracted people’s attention. Therefore, in order to explore a new way of comprehensive utilization of Sambucus williamsii Hance, the root samples of Sambucus williamsii Hance were collected and extracted with ethanol, benzene/ethanol and methanol, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TGA) and pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) were used to detect the treated samples, and various substances in Sambucus williamsii Hance root were studied in depth. The results show that the thermal decomposition products of raw material powders and extracts contain many chemical substances. Such as (1R) - (-) –Myrtenal, D-Mannose, Furfural, O-Xylene, Phenol, 2,6-dimethyl-. These substances have broad application prospects in chemical industry, bio-medicine, food additives and other fields, thus providing a theoretical basis for the rational use of Sambucus williamsii Hance.
