A process for isolation of at least one odoriferous agent from a plant substrate is disclosed which comprises a) contacting a plant substrate with an aqueous soap extraction solution comprising an aqueous medium and at least one soap compound R- C(=O)O-M+ or +M-O(O=)C-R-C(=O)O-M+, wherein R is saturated or unsaturated linear, branched or cyclic C3 to C17 alkyl or C6 to C18 aryl, wherein the alkyl or aryl group can be substituted with up to 5 functional groups, and wherein M+ is a monovalent cation, to obtain a soap extract and b) isolating a flavour mixture comprising at least one odoriferous agent from the soap extract obtained in step a). |
