Abstract
The SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction) analysis of the scent of H. hircinum showed the presence of elemicin in the presence of a relevant amount of eugenol. The scent of the sample of H. adriaticum collected in Abruzzo showed the presence 4-amino-5-(4-morpholinylmethyl)-2-oxazolidinone, β-ocimene, decyl decanoate, and 9-tricosene as main components. The sample of H. adriaticum collected at Marsico Nuovo has an aroma where the main component was pentadecyl hexanoate, 9-tricosene, methyleugenol, tetradecane, pentadecane, and elemicin. The samples of H. adriaticum collected at Viggianello showed some similarities in the scent: the main components were 9-tricosene and methyleugenol.
