These results are in contrarywith our present observations where we got a higher percentageof 1,8 cineole from enzyme treated cardamom seeds. As 1,8 cineolrepresent the camphoraceous and terpinyl acetate represents thespicy and herbaceous flavour, a higher percentage of 1,8 cineole inthe volatile oil of enzyme pretreated cardamom seeds indicated amodified flavour profile with respect to control. The difference inpercentage composition of these components may be due to the useof mixed enzymes instead of individual enzyme for pretreatment
