title: Headspace analysis of volatile flower scent constituents of bat-pollinated plants.
abstract: The flower scents of 11 bat-pollinated plant species have been investigated using the 'closed-loop-stripping'-adsorption technique. GC and GC/MS analyses of the headspace samples resulted in the identification of 49 compounds, comprising amongst others sulphur compounds, terpenoids and aliphatic compounds.
