Volatiles from winter wheat: Identification of additional compounds and effects of tissue source

Sixteen volatile compounds have been identified in oil prepared from winter wheat by reduced pressure steam distillation-extraction. Most of these compounds were found in relatively small quatities (0.5%, or less) with the exception of pentadecanal. Comparisons were also made of the relative amounts of C₉ alcohols and aldehydes obtained from fresh versus frozen plants, cut versus intact plants and leaves versus culms.
