Abstract
GC/MS analyses on polar and apolar columns of an aromatic extract of the fruit of Jamrosa-tree from Reunion allowed the identification of 80 volatile compounds: 12 hydrocarbons, 8 oxides and acetals, 12 aldehydes, 9 ketones, 5 esters, 31 alcohols, 3 acids. The presence of a few furan derivatives (unsaturated γ-lactones) is suspected. Among the identified compounds, geraniol, nerol, β-phenylethyl alcohol, linalool, hotrienol, citronellol, four linalool oxides (furans and pyrans), rose oxides and nerol oxide are well-known components of the Bulgarian rose oil. Other compounds, such as, (E)- and (Z)-cinnamaldehydes and their corresponding alcohols and acetates, 3-phenylpropyl alcohol and 3-phenyl propanal are responsible for the cinnamon-spicy-like note of this exotic fruit.Keywords
