Composition:
Main constituents include ketones with a violet-like odor (irones), alcohols and carbonyl compounds. More than 40 constituents have been identified in raspberry aroma (Burdock, 1997). The principle components isolated from the leaves are hydrolizable tannins. Over 70 compounds were identified in the aroma concentrates of the hybrids between raspberry (
R. idaeus
, L.) and Arctic bramble (
R. arciticus
, L.). The major components included acetic and hexanoic acids,
trans
3-penten-1-ol, 2-heptanol, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, benzyl alcohol and linalool. 2,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-3-furanone together with
a
- and
b
-ionones, characteristic compounds of Arctic bramble and raspberry, respectively, were found in the hybrids in much lower concentrations than in the parent berries.
