Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
Pandan leaves have been extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide and with hexane. Yields of supercritical extracts were 10 times lower than those of hexane extracts. Coarsely ground freeze-dried leaves gave the highest yield by SC-CO2 extraction, at 0.88 ± 0.06%. Almost 80% of the water in pandan leaves can be removed by drying. The solvent in ultrasonic extraction is a mixture of ethanol and water. Ultrasonic extraction with 12.5 g of leaves for 20 minutes at 60% solvent concentration and 25% amplitude gave a 60.51% yield of extract and 1.43 ppm of 2AP. Ethanol and methanol extracts contained 2AP, while no 2AP was detected in propanol.

U parfemima
The leaves are used in the perfume industry. The essence of P. amaryllifolius may substitute for vanilla essence. Pandan leaf holds commercial interest in the flavour industry, and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is a flavouring agent. The leaves are applied to food as fresh whole leaf or as juice, and have become popular as a pandan flavour in cakes, ice cream and custards. In rice cooking, pandan acts as a cheap substitute for basmati fragrance, since ordinary nonfragrant rice cooked with it tastes and smells like basmati. A 2008 food-additive evaluation found no safety concern for 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent.
