There have been a number of reports on the essential oil composition of the above mentioned cilantro mimics however, there is limited information on the characteristic aroma-active components of the fresh herbs. The following investigation was undertaken to identify and compare the characteristic aroma components of fresh leaves of C sativum, E. foetidum, and P. odoratum. The essential oils from seeds of these plants differ significantly from that obtained from the green, leafy (herb) parts of the plant (the essential oil of the seeds of C sativum is contains mostly linalool) and will not be addressed in this investigation.
