The aroma components from feijoa were extracted by solid phase microextraction. The aromatic compounds were analyzed by GC-MS and identified by mass spectra. There were 29 compounds identified and the percent of the total peak areas was 88.50%. The major constituents are: esters 50.64%, aldehydes 26.04% alcohols 5.84% hydrocarbons 3.85% ketones 3.14% and phenol 0.77%. Methyl benzoate is of the highest content 36.56% followed by (Z)-3-hexenal 17.44% Hexanal 5.07% Ethyl butanoate 4.21% Ethano 13.60%, (E)-2-hexenal 3.53%, Ethyl benzoate 1.50%, 3-octanone 1.44%, linalool 1.40%, (Z)-3-hexenyl butanoate 1.30%, Ethyl acetate 1.21%, and Humulene 1.02%.
