Uses ndReactions. Linalool can be estetified to linalyl acetate by reaction with acetic anhydride. Linalyl acetate [115-95-7] has a floral-fmity odor, reminiscent of bergamot and lavender. The price of the acetate in 1995 was 14.30/kg (45). Linalool is subject to dehydration and to isomerization to nerol and geraniol during the esterification. However, if the acetic acid formed during the esterification is removed in a distillation column, the isomerization can be minimized and good yields of the acetate obtained (130). 

In an initial survey at the University of Auckland in 2004 on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec wines, subject to MOX in 2000-L tanks at 4-8 mg/L/month for 12 weeks post-MLF, no changes were seen in the aroma profiles of the wines (vs. controls) for a wide range of aroma compounds, including herbaceous methoxypyrazines and C6 alcohols, floral terpenes and (3-ionone, or for fruity esters and higher alcohols (Rowdon, 2005). Likewise, the concentrations of the varietal thiol 3MH,... 

For most specific anosmias the individual differences represent a concentration effect that is anosmic individuals will recognize the odor at some higher level of exposure. However, in the case of an stenone, individuals d it either unpleasant (urinous, sweaty), pleasant (floral, musky) or odorless, independent of the concentration. Surprisingly, the anosmia can be reversed in some individuals through constant exposure (57). Anosmic subjects exposed to androstenone three times per day (3 minutes) over a 6 week period became osmic to it A substantial decrease in threshold (i.e. increased sensitivity) was found for 10 of 20 subjects. 

Owing to their unique and delicate flavour, species of the genus Passiflora have been the subject of intensive research on their volatile constituents [13]. The purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is a tropical fruit native to Brazil but is now grown in most tropical and subtropical countries [50]. Purple passion fruit is cultivated in Australia, India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and South Africa [48]. Yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis t flavicarpa) is one of the most popular and best known tropical fruits, having a floral, estery aroma with an exotic tropical sulfury note [62]. Yellow passion fruit is cultivated in Brazil, Hawaii, Fiji, and Taiwan [48]. Because of its more desirable flavour, the purple passion fruit is preferred for consumption as fresh fruit, whereas the yellow passion fruit is considered more suitable for processing [28]. 

Sepals, petals, microsporophylls and megasporophylls are floral leaves and will be treated at length under the subject of the flower. 

When the 2-alkylcyclopentanones are subjected to the Bayer-Villiger reaction, the resultant lactones are found to have sweet, buttery, peach and coconut odours. These are useful in floral fragrances, but their major use is as butter flavour in margarines. 

Post-conditioning treatment to permethrin has been conducted, before subjecting the bees to the test trials, in order to study the recovery period needed for treated bees to resume normal learning ability [33]. This aimed to examine how chemical treatment can interfere with the memory process, which gives an indication of the way foragers will be able to come back to a crop where they have been exposed to the toxic material while they were collecting food and memorizing the floral cues. 

The pistil is the last of the floral structures to be differentiated during flower formation. In some dioecious species, such as Lychnis dioica, pistil initiation is linked to the presence of a sex chromosome (Westergaard 1958). In many species, however, sexual expression is more subject to modification by environmental factors acting on metabolic processes. This aspect has been studied frequently in monoecious members of the Cucurbitaceae. In these species, as in other monoecious types, light and temperature are particularly potent factors influencing the production of stamens and/or pistils. 

Figure 17 During 5 min subjects were exposed to the E-isomer of the ethyl ester of 3-methyl-2-pentenoic acid (E-EE3M2PA), which has a floral odor. Every 15 sec they were asked to rate the intensity of either E-EE3M2PA or mercaptoethanol (a sulfurous malodor) across 11 min (except for the 1 min between adaptation to E-EE3M2PA and recovery from adaptation). Relative to estimates of perceived intensity that were obtained before adaptation, the perceived intensity of E-EE3M2PA decreased during repeated exposures to the odorant (adaptation). There also was a significant decrease in the perceived intensity of mercaptoethanol during exposure to E-EE3M2PA (cross-adaptation).
