The volatile components ofCucumis melossp.dudaim(pocket melon), which were isolated by continuous extraction with isopentane, were identified by a combination of retention indices and GC/MS. Forty-eight constituents were identified in the aroma concentrate, from which hexanol (11.52%), chavicol (11.33%), (Z)-3-hexenol (6.84%), benzyl alcohol (3.54%) and eugenol (3.48%) were found to be the major constituents. The amount of chavicol found in the aroma concentrate was thought to contribute to the unique aroma character of the pocket melon.
