Abstract
Volatile secondary metabolites from Colombian ylang-ylang flowers were obtained by combined steam distillation - solvent extraction. The sam ples were analyzed by high resolution gas chromatography with flame io nization, nitrogen/phosphorus, or mass spectrometric detection. The ch emical composition of the oils extracted from flowers at different sta ges of development differed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The generation of total volatile metabolites, light oxygenated compounds in particular, increased markedly during flower maturation. In this wo rk the quality of the ylang-ylang essential ails was studied as a func tion of flower maturity.
