Other newly-reported aroma active rice volatiles were geranyl acetate,
b-damascone, b-damascenone, and A-ionone, contributing nutty, sweet floral attributes to the aroma of
cooked aromatic rice. The first two principal components from the principal component analysis of sulphur
volatiles explained 60% of the variance. PC1 separated Basmati from the other two cultivars and PC2
completely separated Jasmine from Jasmati cultivars.
