Arecaceae - coconut tree, Kokospalme
„The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which, botanically, is a drupe, not a nut…The smell of coconuts comes from the 6-pentyloxan-2-one molecule, known as delta-decalactone in the food and fragrance industries.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut
„The characteristic coconut aroma from the edible, white flesh (endosperm) of the seeds is mainly due to delta-lactones: (R)-(+)-delta-hexalactone, (R)-(+)-delta-octalactone, (R)-(+)-delta-decalactone and (R)-(+)-delta-dodecalactone.“ [Jirovetz L, Buchbauer G, Ngassoum MB.
