After fractionation by normal distillation under reduced pressure followed by silica gel chromatography, the volatile fractions of the hexane concrete of Gardenia taitensis DC were investigated using GC/MS and GC/FTIR, and more than 150 components were identified. The major oxygenated constituents were found to be linalool (4.4%), methyl salicylate (2.5%), (Z)-3-hexenyl benzoate (2.2%), dihydroconiferyl alcohol (1.1%), (Z)-3-hexenyl salicylate (0.7%), benzyl benzoate (6.2%), dihydroconiferyl acetate (12.2%), 2-phenylethyl benzoate (6.2%), benzyl salicylate (2.5%), geranyl benzoate (2.1%) and 2-phenylethyl salicylate (2.2%). The identification of numerous dihydroconiferyl esters appears to be unique to this species.
