SUMMARY A number of compounds in the flavor‐containing chloroform extract of maple sirup have been isolated and identified. A major constituent not previously isolated by gas chromatography was acetol. Other constituents present in lesser concentrations which have not previously been reported were acetoin, ethyl vanillate, syringoyl methyl ketone, and methyleyclopentenolone.
