„The volatiles of white hyacinths were isolated by dynamic headspace trapping. More than 70 constituents could be identified by GC and GC-MS. The principal constituents were benzyl acetate and (E, E)-α-farnesene. Beside these, sensorily important substances like indole, oct-1-en-3-ol and phenylacetaldehyde were identified. Minor traces of three substituted pyrazines could be detected by GC-sniffing. The advantages of the simultaneous “closed-loop stripping” technique using various adsorbing agents at the same time were demonstrated. By this means artefact formation and discrimination of individual components could be determined.“
