Abstract
Volatile compounds were isolated from Psidium salutare fruits by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction according to the Likens-Nickerson procedure. Compounds were identified by capillary GC and GC-MS. One hundred and fifty compounds were identified in the aroma concentrate, from which limonene, myrcene, and alpha-pinene were found to be the major constituents in the fruit.
