✦ Synopsis

The bound aroma compounds from fresh green cardamom (Eletteria cardamomum Maton) were isolated by adsorption on Amberlite XAD-2. The free volatiles were eluted with ether : pentane (1 : 1) and the bound compounds with methanol. After hydrolysis of the latter fraction with b-glucosidase, the aglycones were identi®ed by GC and GC±MS. The major compounds in this fraction were 3-methylpentan-2-ol, linalol and the cis-and trans-isomers of nerolidol and farnesol.
