G. Buchbauer et al., HEADSPACE ANALYSIS OF AROMA CONSTITUENTS OF SUNFLOWER STEMS, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 347(10-11), 1993, pp. 465-467
The volatile constituents of sunflower stems were investigated by GC/F
ID and GC/FTIR/MS. The components responsible for the odour were ident
ified by combination of the GC-sniffing technique with the analytical
data. The following main components were found: alpha-pinene (86.2%),
beta-pinene (4.1%) and butyl acetate (2.3%).
