present study describes the optimization of disk type sorptive extraction using monolithic material (mono trap) for the analysis of volatile aroma compounds from lantana camara l. in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms). monolithic material sorptive extraction (mmse) is a new sampling technique using a monolithic hybrid adsorptive disk (o.d. 10 mm, 1 mm thickness) made of high purity silica and activated carbon having a large surface area chemically bonded with octadecyl silane (ods). the experimental parameters that may influence the mmse efficiency have been optimized. linearity, accuracy, precision and detection limits were evaluated to assess the performance of the proposed method. the method was validated with real plant samples of lantana camara l. twenty eight compounds including the main representative compounds of <tex>${\alpha}$</tex>-curcumene and <tex>${\beta}$</tex>-caryophyllene were found in analyzed samples. results proved that proposed method could be used as a good alternative for the analysis for such volatile aroma compounds in plant samples.
