Method for extracting an extract of volatile odorous compounds each having a molecular weight of less than 350 g/mol from an organic raw material containing volatile odorous compounds, comprising the steps according to which: a) said organic raw material is put in contact, in at least one bath, at a temperature of between 10 and 70°C, with dimethyl carbonate used as a solvent in said bath so as to load said dimethyl carbonate solvent with volatile odorous compounds each having a molecular weight of less than 350 g/mol from said organic material and to obtain a liquid organic phase; b) the liquid organic phase is collected from said bath comprising the dimethyl carbonate loaded with volatile odorous compounds each having a molecular weight of less than 350 g/mol; c) in the event that the liquid organic phase collected includes an aqueous phase that is immiscible with the dimethyl carbonate resulting from the organic material, the liquid organic phase is decanted so as to separate the dimethyl carbonate loaded with volatile odorous compounds from said immiscible aqueous phase, and the aqueous phase is eliminated; d) the dimethyl carbonate is partially eliminated by evaporation and a preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds is recovered; e) in the event that, after partially eliminating the dimethyl carbonate by evaporation, the preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds comprises water, the preconcentrated extract is decanted so as to eliminate the water; f) an alcohol is added to the dimethyl carbonate, forming an azeotrope with the dimethyl carbonate by evaporation by azeotropic entrainment; and g) the preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds is concentrated by evaporating the azeotropic mixture to obtain the extract of volatile odorous compounds. a) said organic raw material is put in contact, in at least one bath, at a temperature of between 10 and 70°C, with dimethyl carbonate used as a solvent in said bath so as to load said dimethyl carbonate solvent with volatile odorous compounds each having a molecular weight of less than 350 g/mol from said organic material and to obtain a liquid organic phase; b) the liquid organic phase is collected from said bath comprising the dimethyl carbonate loaded with volatile odorous compounds each having a molecular weight of less than 350 g/mol; c) in the event that the liquid organic phase collected includes an aqueous phase that is immiscible with the dimethyl carbonate resulting from the organic material, the liquid organic phase is decanted so as to separate the dimethyl carbonate loaded with volatile odorous compounds from said immiscible aqueous phase, and the aqueous phase is eliminated; d) the dimethyl carbonate is partially eliminated by evaporation and a preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds is recovered; e) in the event that, after partially eliminating the dimethyl carbonate by evaporation, the preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds comprises water, the preconcentrated extract is decanted so as to eliminate the water; f) an alcohol is added to the dimethyl carbonate, forming an azeotrope with the dimethyl carbonate by evaporation by azeotropic entrainment; and g) the preconcentrated extract of volatile odorous compounds is concentrated by evaporating the azeotropic mixture to obtain the extract of volatile odorous compounds.
