Abstract
Volatile constituents obtained from four cultivars of guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruits by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction, and analyzed by GC/MS. More than 40 compounds were identified in each cultivar, 17 of which have been identified for the first time as volatile constituents of guava. Each cultivar has a typical composition, characterized by a specific ratio between die main components and classes of substances. The major volatiles were either β-caryophyllene, limonene, 3-phenylpropyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate or (E)-cinnamyl acetate.
