Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(00)94537-0

Sixteen volatile compounds have been identified in oil prepared from winter wheat by reduced pressure steam distillation-extraction.Most of these compounds were found in relatively small quantities (0.5percent or less) with the exception of pentadecanal.Comparisons were also made of the relative amounts of C₉ alcohols and aldehydes obtained from fresh versus frozen plants, cut versus intact plants and leaves versus culms.
