Iridaceae

Saffron. Saffron spice is the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae), a bulbous perennial native to southern Europe and Asia Minor and cultivated in the Mediterranean countries, particularly Spain. Tme saffron should not be confused with either meadow saffron, ie, Colchicum autumnale L. (Lihaceae) also called safflower, or bastard saffron, ie, Carthamus tinctorius L. (Compositae), both of which are occasionally used to adulterate tme saffron. [Pg.29]

Orris root oil is obtained by steam distillation of the rhizomes of the sweet iris. Iris pallida Lam. (Iridaceae) cultivated in the Italian province of Tuscany or Iris germanica L. cultivated in Morocco. Prior to distillation the rhizomes are stored for several years and are then ground. The steam distillate is a light yellow to brown-yellow solid mass with a violet-like odor. The solid liquefies to a yellow to yellow-brown liquid at 38-50 °C. [Pg.210]

Saffron (Crocus sativus L. Iridaceae) finds use in medicine as well as a flavoring and coloring agent. It has three main chemical compounds. The bright red coloring carotenoids a bitter taste, picrocrocin and a spicy... [Pg.313]

Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae) is cultivated for its red stigmatic lobes that constitute saffron. This plant blooms only once a year and the manual harvest of stigmas should be performed within a very short time. The manual cultivation methods practiced with saffron contribute greatly to its high price. Furthermore, weather conditions affect the quality of saffron. [Pg.955]

Orris Root Oil occurs as a light yellow to brown-yellow mass at room temperature and melts to form a yellow to yellow-brown liquid. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the peeled, dried, and aged rhizomes of Iris pallida Lam. (Fam. Iridaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils, in mineral oil, and in propylene glycol. It is insoluble in glycerin. [Pg.312]

Crocetin (C20) is a yellow (IP)2—(PI)2-derived dicarboxylic, acid (generalized structure -OOG-Gig-GOO-) from the styles of Crocus sativus (Iridaceae) (the saffron of Indian cooking and Buddhist robes). Grocin, the digentiobiose ester of crocetin, is water soluble, unlike other carotenoids which are lipophilic (fat soluble). Crocetin is a protein kinase inhibitor. Excess vitamin A (or excess pro-vitamin A) ingestion is toxic (dog liver consumption having caused the death of Sir Douglas Mawson s explorer companions in the Antarctic by this mechanism). [Pg.44]
