title: Volatile compounds of cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale L.).
abstract: The volatile compounds of a largely consumed Brazilian cashew apple variety (Anacardium occidentale L. var. nanum, Anacardiaceae) were recovered by headspace extraction or simultaneous distillation-extraction. Several compounds including esters (29), terpenes (16), hydrocarbons (9), carboxylic acids (7), aldehydes (7), alcohols (3), ketones (2), lactones (2) and norisoprenoids (1) were characterized and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses.
