(1980) found that
Thailand durian contained eight sulfur compounds
where diethyl disulfide and diethyl trisulfide
predominate, while the non-sulfur components
identified were mostly ethyl 2-methylbutanoate,
1-1-diethoxyethane and ethyl acetate. Wong and Tie
(1995) identified 63 volatiles in different clones of
durian from Malaysia with the major constituents
as 3 hydroxy-2- butanone (32-33%), ethyl propionate
(20%), and ethyl 2-methyl butanoate (15-22%).
