Pandanus amaryllifolius, an herb, is cultivated in home gardens in coastal regions of India. The leaves are added to ordinary rice while cooking to impart basmati rice aroma. The plant bears the same aroma principle 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP) that has been reported in Basmati and other scented rice. Quantitatively the 2AP contents are highest in this plant among the plant kingdom. Therefore, it has good scope for commercial cultivation.

Studies in Malesian Pandanaceae XVII on the taxonomy of ‘Pandan Wangi’ A Pandanus cultivar with scented leaves
TLDR
A review of this problem and a study of the plants as they occur in Malaysia, Singapore, and Ceylon, has revealed that in fact only one species is involved and that the ‘large’ and the "small’ forms hitherto referred to the two species are merely growth phases of the one.
New alkaloids from Pandanus amaryllifolius.
TLDR
Spectroscopic and chemical studies showed that the tertiary amines isolated from the acid-base treatment were artifacts formed during the extraction process, suggesting that the use of conventional acid- base treatment in isolating Pandanus alkaloids should be reviewed since it can introduce artifacts.
