摘要：

The floral bouquet of faba bean flowers was shown to be a complex mixture of some 27 identifiable compounds. In addition to the ubiquitous mono and sesquiterpenes, the porous-polymer entrained volatiles included a diverse range of phenylpropenoids which together accounted for over 7% of the total. Cinnamyl alcohol was also found to be the most abundant free alcohol in the epicuticular wax of faba bean flowers. Two new classes of epicuticular wax esters consisting of saturated C-16, C-18, C-20, C-22 and C-24 fatty acids esterified with the phenylpropenoid, cinnamyl alcohol and with the diterpene, phytol have been identified.
