Abstract

The analysis of odour components in East Indian Sandalwood Oil (Santalum album L.) and in Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) based on GC-, GC-FTIR- and GC-MS-data resulted in the identification ofα-santalene,α-santalal,β-santalal, epi-β-santalal,α-santalol,β-santalol, (E)-β-santalol,α-bergamotol and spirosantalol in Sandalwood Oil and of (−)-patchoulol,α-guaiene,α-patchoulene, seychellene,α-bulnesene, norpatchoulenol and pogostol in Patchouli Oil as the most intense aroma compounds of these oils.
