Abstract
Airborne volatiles of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) plants were analysed by drawing air over the plants in a glass chamber, trapping the airborne volatiles on Tenax TA adsorbent, and releasing the trapped volatiles into a GC-MS by heating the Tenax trap. Eleven volatile compounds; hexanal, 1-nonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetate, hexyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, limonene, (E)-β-ocimene, nonanal and a-cedrene, were identified. © 1989.
