%X three unifloral honeys were identified by the pronounced presence of specific compounds by means of sensorial analysis and spme-gc-ms. smoky and resinous (¡®propolis') odors characterized unifloral "quillay" (quillaja saponaria) honey. "corontillo" (escallonia pulverulenta) honey was characterized by caramel and vanillin aromas, and "ulmo" (eucryphia cordifolia) honey by having an anise scent with a floral jasmine note. safranal was a useful marker for "corontillo" honey. isophorone and cetoisophorone were the distinctive compounds of unifloral "ulmo" honey. in "quillay" honeys, megastigmatrienone, 2-p-hydroxyphenylalcohol and minor quantities of ¦Â-pinene and linalool oxide were correlated with their sensory properties such as resinous.
