The book covers a wide range of methods for the analysis of volatile
compounds exuded by plants. Some of these volatiles, including those of wines
teas and fruits, are of great commercial importance. Other volatiles, such as
essential oils also of economic value, can be useful as markers in determining
chemotaxonomic relationships. The use of such data in the emerging method of
chemometric analysis is detailed, as are analytical methods for determination
of volatile compounds such as isoprene and ammonia, rarely found in other texts
covering analytical methods for use with plant materials. It also covers topics
such as in situ headspace analysis of the volatiles given off by
flowers. This method is potential use for the study of insect-plant
interactions, or signalling.
