Abstract

Simultaneous distillation extraction and static headspace techniques were compared for their effectiveness in the extraction of volatile flavour compounds from macadamia flower samples. Experimental results showed static headspace lacked the sensitivity needed to evaluate certain flavour volatiles, such as esters. Considerable improvements in the extraction ability of the simultaneous distillation extraction over the static headspace method were noted. About 63 different compounds were identified including acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, hydrocarbons and other a few compounds, which can offer some reference for application of the Macadamia flower in large scale.
