摘要
Four esters, together with free benzyl alcohol were recognized as the main components of the fragrance of Victoria. The compounds were methyl 2-methylbutyrate, methyl tiglate, benzyl 2-methylbutyrate and benzyl tiglate. A number of other methyl and benzyl esters were recognized but at much lower concentrations. There were quantitative differences in the levels of some compounds from intact flowers in contrast with those detached from the plant.
