【 摘 要 】

A review about origin, composition and importance of volatile compoundsin floral honeys is presented. Hydrocarbons, aromatic components, acids, diacids,terpenoids, ketones, aldehydes, esters and alcohols have been found in honeyaroma of different botanical origin. Cis-rose oxide has been proposed as anindicator for Tilia cordata honey. Citrus honeys are known to containmethyl anthranilate, a compound which other honeys virtually lack. Linalool,phenylethylalcohol, phenylacetaldehyde, p-anisaldehyde and benzaldehyde areimportant contributors for the aroma of different unifloral honeys. Both isovalericacid, gama-decalactone and benzoic acid appears to be important odourants forAnarcadium occidentale and Croton sp. honeys from Brazil. Thefurfurylmercaptan, benzyl alcohol, delta-octalactone, eugenol, phenylethylalcoholand guaiacol appear to be only relevant compounds for Anarcadium occidentale.The vanillin was considered an important odourant only for Croton sp..
