Nucleosynthesis in detailed models for bouncing supermassive stars is investigated. A nonrotating star of 520,000 solar masses and a rotating star of 3 million solar masses are considered, and the time evolution of the abundances is followed throughout the quasi-steady contraction phase as well as through the implosion-explosion. The numerical network integrations show that explosions of such objects cause predominantly the enrichment of Li-7. Typical enhancement factors for Li-7 with respect to the 'universal' value of Cameron (1973) are of the order of 1000, whereas those of C-13, N-15, and O-17 are of the order of 100 or less. The implications of the results concerning the amount of galactic matter which might be processed in such objects are discussed.
