Abstract

Volatile compounds were determined in jamun (Syzygium cumini L.), an underutilized tropical fruit with a delicate flavour, and medicinal and therapeutic properties. 29 compounds were identified by GC-MS; 1 compound could not be identified. Predominant consituents were trans- and cis-ocimene, beta-myrcene and alpha-terpineol. The characteristic flavour of jamun was attributed to the presence of 3 esters (dihydrocarvyl acetate, geranyl butyrate and terpinyl valerate).
