| Abstract: | Steam volatile oils were obtained from Rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei Reade, cv. Tiftblue) in amounts of ca. 25 ppm of the berry and analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Major components identified were ethyl acetate, limonene, hexanol, cis-2-hexenol, heptanol, cinerolone, β-ionone, terpinene-4-o1, 2-undecanone, α-terpineol, 1-carveol, nerol and eugenol. Of the 42 compounds identified, 29 have not been previously reported as constituents of blueberry volatiles. |
