The aim of this study was to determine all the extractives from different samples were collected from heartwood, sapwood, bark and needles and branches of Pinus brutia. A Soxlet device with two solvents (water and ethanol) were used to collect the extracts. Analytical chemical analyses were conducted with Gas C1hromatography-Mass Spectrometry (Agilent 5975C). The greater percentage of the extracts in water and ethanol showed that the greater percentage of them is found in the branches and needles of the trees. Especially the results showed significant amounts of the chemical compounds, such as Borneol, Tetradecane, 6,6-Biquinoline, Butyl citrate, Isopropyl palmitate and Isopropyl myristate, which can be used for sustainability, environmental integration at the aspect of more effective use of natural resources and have many uses in novel – functional food, green chemistry and pharmaceutical industries. Finally, the greater percentage of the extracts in water and ethanol showed that the greater percentage of them is found in the branches and needles of the trees.
