SUMMARY— Volatile components of the grape Vitis vinifera var. White Riesling were isolated by reduced pressure steam distillation followed by solvent extraction and fractionation by gas-liquid chromatography. Individual components were identified by a combination of the techniques of functional group analysis, gas-chromatographic relative retention times, and infrared spectroscopy. Major components are: ethanol, isobutanol, 2.methylbutanol, 3-methylbutanol, 2-hexenal, n-hexanol, trans-2-hexen-1-01, and 2.Dhenethanol. Alcohols oresent in relatively smaller amounts are: methanol, n-butanol, n-pen-tanol, n-heptanol, linaloöl, n-octanol, n-decanol, and benzyl alcohol. Acids constitute only a small part of the total volatiles of White Riesling, the maior acids being: acetic, n-caproic, 2-hexenoic, n-caprylic, n-pelargonic, and n-capric. Acids present in trace amounts are: propionic, isobutyric, n-butyric, 2-methylbutyric, isovaleric, isocaproic, n-heptanoic, n-undecanoic, succinic, and ethyl acid succinate. The only esters detected were trace quantities of ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate.
