Sensory evaluation of the tamarinds revealed very characteristic
aroma profiles which are characteristic of these types of fruits
(Fig. 1). In orthonasal mode, the profile of the D. guineense was
dominated by the floral, flowery, caramel and ethereal notes,
whereas those of D. dinklagel and D. packyphyllum were dominated
by the leaf-like and green notes. In addition, a rather weak flowery
and caramel note was also noticed in both species.
