Volatile compounds were isolated from pandan leaves by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane as solvent and was analysed using GC-MS. A total of 22 compounds were identified, including 9 alcohols, 4 carboxylic acids, 3 ketones, 2 esters, 3 hydrocarbons and 1 furanone. 3-Methyl-2-(5H)-furanone was the predominant component, accounting for over 70% of the total volatiles. Other major components included 3-hexanol, 4-methylpentanol, 3-hexanone and 2-hexanone.
