Abstract Free and glycosidically bound aroma compounds from Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng, were isolated and separated by Amberlite XAD-2 column. The fraction containing the free aroma compounds was eluted with pentane: diethyl ether (1:1). Aroma compounds from the bound fraction were released by Î²-glucosidase hydrolysis. Samples were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Sixty-seven constituents were found to be present in the bound fraction where linalool was found to be the main constituent. In the free aroma fraction, seventy-eight constituents were present with octyl acetate being found as the main constituent. In the hydrodistilled oil, fifty-six compounds were identified and Î²-caryophyllene was the main compound.
