Abstract

Volatile components of egg-fruit (Pouteria campechiana [Kunth] Baehni) grown in Yucatan, Mexico, were analyzed. Volatiles were isolated by simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 70 compounds were identified, 49 of them reported for the first time. Major compounds were 2-methylpropan-1-ol (16.7% of total volatiles), 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (15.0%) and 2-methylbutan-1-ol (13.0%).
