Abstract: The objective of the study was to evaluate of the fatty acids’ composition in the oils from the seeds of Vitex rotundifolia and the roots of Cichorium intybus by GC-MS. Oils used for analysis have been obtained by extraction using the n-hexane in the room temperature. The oils were esterified to bring them into a vaporous phase, transforming the fatty acid from oil into fatty acids methyl esters. Major components of V. rotundifolia seed oil was linoleic acid (36,9%), followed by palmitic acid (15.2%), oleic acid (13.3%) and the major components of C. intybus root oil was palmitic acid (55,9%), linoleic acid (11,8%), followed by, oleic acid (10,2%). It can be concluded that V. rotundifolia seeds and C. intybus root oils are an excellent source of essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-9. In the sum of polar lipids were determined existences of following phospholipids: phospha­tidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, N-acyllysophospha­tidyl­ethanol­ami­ne, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol.
