Floral scent

Because the scent of a flower may be due to hundreds of different compounds, it is difficult for perfume manufacturers to duplicate floral scents. Establishing the identities and relative amounts of the components of a fragrance was actually impossible until the development of chromatography. Related techniques are used in forensic laboratories to match samples of fluids, by food manufacturers to test product quality, and to search for evidence of life on other planets. All these techniques depend on subtle differences in intermolecular forces to separate compounds. [Pg.475]

Fig. 5.1. A sample of floral scent compounds. (1) Substituted methyl esters of benzoic acid. The ester smells unpleasantly sweet when R = H (methyl benzoate), of wintergreen when R = OH (methyl salicylate), and of concord grape when R = NH2 (methyl anthranylate). Odorants with unusual origins and biological functions include the homoterpene 4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene (2) and the wet-earth compound geosmin (3). Some ubiquitous fragrance compounds are ben-zaldehyde (4), benzyl alcohol (5), indole (6), (S)-linalool (7), ( )-/ -ocimene (8), and of-farnesene (9). Fig. 5.1. A sample of floral scent compounds.

Horseweed is a native annual plant that can grow to a height of over 2 m. When mature, several flowering stems appear at the apex, which branch frequently and create a multitude of tiny composite flowers. In each flower, there are numerous yellow disk florets in the center, which are surrounded by tiny white ray florets. There is no noticeable floral scent. The blooming period can occur any time from midsummer to fall, lasting about 3 wk. [Pg.62]
