JS-damascenone

Thereby one can see that the main olfactory components of Bulgarian rose oU are (-)-citronellol, (-)-rose oxide, jS-damascenone andjS-ionone (Tab. 3.2). [31]... 

Despite their overall high abundance, the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons ( )-caryophyllene and )S-elemene were not detected by GCO and AEDA. This indicates that these compounds may play either no role or only a minor role in the overall aroma of O. sanctum. Results of AEDA (Table 1) indicate that eugenol cloves) is the predominant odorant in the essential oil, followed by jS-damascenone (floral, applesauce), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyr-azine (earthy, potato), and 1,8-cineol (minty, eucalyptus). The fact that eugenol and 1,8-cineol are key aroma components is not surprising and is supported by previous studies [1-9]. However, jS-damascenone and 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine had not been previously reported as components of O. sanctum. The AEDA procedure was conducted on the fresh herb to determine whether these latter components are indeed natural constituents of the herb or whether they are generated during the production of the...
