Abstract

Two natural banana aromas of Caribbean origin, isolated by direct percolation, were analyzed by GC/MS. In addition to high amounts of organic acids, the Guadeloupe bananas contained vanillin, cinnamaldehyde and 3-methylhex-4-en-2-one. Quite a high content of xylene, originating probably from the solvent of the packaging offset paint, is also of interest.
