| | "The majority of the avocados grown in the West Indies, Bahamas and Bermuda and the tropics of the Old World are still of the West Indian race. The skin is leathery, pliable, non-granular, and the flesh low in oil. The leaves are not aromatic." \\ |

| | "Generally, avocado is served raw, though some cultivars, including the common 'Hass', can be cooked for a short time without becoming bitter. Caution should be used when cooking with untested cultivars; the flesh of some avocados may be rendered inedible by heat." [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado]] |
| | |
| | Heating of avocado pulp may result in bitterness via synthesis of 1,2,4-trihydroxy-n-heptadeca-16-ene and 1-acetoxy-2,4-dihydroxy-n-heptadeca-16-ene. \\ |

| "Volatile constituents of avocado mesocarp were isolated by concurrent steam distillation/solvent extraction in the Likens-Nickerson apparatus using pentaneether as solvent. The extracts which resulted were concentrated in a Kuderna-Danish concentrator and analysed using gas chromatography and linked gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) employing capillary columns of contrasting polarity. Hydrocarbons (mainly sesquiterpenes) and alkanals were the predominant constituents present. In the immediate extract of the avocado mesocarp, β-caryophyllene (60%) was the main sesquiterpene, followed by α-humulene (5.9%), caryophyllene oxide (4.8%), α-copaene (4.5%) and α-cubebene as the main hydrocarbons; alkanals were present, but only in low concentrations. In the extract prepared following storage (2h) of the mesocarp at room temperature, β-caryophylene (28.8%) was the main sesquiterpene, followed by β-copaene (10.7%), a cadinene isomer (8.5%), α- and β-cubebene (7.7%), α-farnesene (5.3%) and octane (4.8%) as principal hydrocarbons; decenal (6.3%) and heptenal (3.2%) were the main aldehydes." \\ | "Volatile constituents of avocado mesocarp were isolated by concurrent steam distillation/solvent extraction in the Likens-Nickerson apparatus using pentaneether as solvent.
