Abstract

The volatile constituents from tea of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa
L.) growing in Cuba were analyzed by HRGC and GC-MS. Eighty-one volatile
compounds were identified in the aroma concentrate, of which linalool and aterpineol
were found to be the major constituents. The exotic aroma character
of roselle tea is the interaction of terpenoids with floral notes, fatty acids with
acidic notes and the sugar degradation products with a caramel-like odor
