Abstract
The volatile compounds of a largely consumed Brazilian cashew apple variety (Anacardium occidentale L. var. nanum, Anacardiaceae) were recovered by he adspace extraction or simultaneous distillation-extraction. Several compoun ds including esters (29), terpenes (16), hydrocarbons (9), carboxylic acids (7), aldehydes (7), alcohols (3), ketones (2), lactones (2) and norisopren oids (1) were characterized and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spect rometry analyses.
