Tuberose flowers

Methyl (Z)-(-)-jasmonate has been identified as a component in the scent of Tunisian rosemary, in the stems and leaves of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.), and in the absoiue of tuberose and gardenia flowers. Methyl (Z)-(-)-(3H,7S -jasmonate has been discovered in the oil of lemon peel and in the pheromone of the oriental fruit moth (Grapholitha molesta B.,1 The culture filtrate of the fungus Lasiodiplodia fheobromae contains the free acid. In the oils from the blooms of osmanthus, gardenia and mimosa, (-)-jasmolactone has been found, which is also an important component of tea aroma. [75] On the other hand, the oil from tuberose flowers contains (+)-jasmolactone. 

In many plants the glucoside is decomposed durfng the life of the plant in a manner different from that just described. The conditions are not understood, but in the case of such flowers as the jasmin and tuberose... 

Methyl Anthranilate.—This ester is one of extreme importance, and to it is largely due the possibility of manufacturing artificial neroli oils. It was discovered as a constituent of neroli oil in 1895 by Walbaum, and has since been identified in numerous other flower oils, such as tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmin, and gardenia. Its value in synthetic perfumery is therefore obvious. Its constitution is that of a methyl ester or orthp-amido-benzoic acid, of the formula here shown —... 

Raw materials derived from intensive agricultural cultivation are usually relatively inexpensive. However, the prices of some natural materials may exceed 1000 per kilogram because cultivation and harvesting of these plants are tedious and product yields are very low. Examples of extremely valuable ingredients of fragrance and flavor creations include rose oil, jasmine absolute, tuberose absolute, orris root oil, ambrette seed oil, angelica root oil, and orange flower oil [220]. 

Concretes, which are actually intermediate products (see below), are prepared mainly from flowers (rose, jasmine, tuberose, jonquil, ylang-ylang, mimosa, boronia, etc.), but also from other plant materials (lavender, lavandin, geranium, clary sage, violet leaves, oak moss, etc.). A yield of ca. 0.3% based on the starting flower material, is obtained in the production of jasmine concrete. 

Lilac.—The flowers of this shrub—eyrinya vulgaris —are very fragrant, and yield a perfume by the process of enfleurage, resembling that from the tuberose. 

By Enfleurage.—There are certain flowers, the odors of which are so delicate that they will not bear even the little heat used in the preoeding method and For these the process of enfleurage or absorption is employed. Jessamine, mignonette, tuberose, and similar flowers, belong to this category. 

Enfieurage. This is an ancient process for capturing aromafic essential oils from flowers, such as jasmine and tuberose. In this now essentially obsolete process, freshly gathered flower petals are carefully spread on a sheet, usually glass, upon which is spread a very thin film of highly purified fat. The petals remain in contact with the fat film for 24 hours, after which the peials are removed and replaced with a fresh batch. The process requires from 30 to 40 repetitions before the fat becomes saturated with the essential oil. The fat at this point is called pomade, which is extracted with pure alcohol. Prior to the availability of more advanced technology, some essence manufacturers would have as many as a thousand petal frames in operation at one time. 

As he remarked that I found it difficult to walk upon the lilies, roses, jasmines, carnations, tuberoses, and a prodigious variety of other flowers, most beautiful and curious to behold, which blossomed even upon the road, he inquired, with a smile, if I feared to harm those plants. I answered that I was well aware they were devoid of a sensitive soul, but seeing they were most rare in my own country, I shrank from trampling them underfoot. Then,... 

Although less closely related to L Air du Temps than Fidji, we may think of Anais Anais (Cacharel 1979) as a perfume created within the same tradition. Again its character is essentially floral, in this case a combination of "white flowers," including jasmin, muguet, lilac, magnolia, tuberose, honeysuckle, and carnation, with a complex of woody notes, musks, and salicylates (6%). 

The green side of the perfume which is less pronounced than in Fidji, and more floral, is based on phenylacetaldehyde and cA-3-hexenyl acetate with perhaps a trace of galbanum. Narcisse absolute may also be used. Other materials that add to the building up of the white flower character are Lilial and cyclamen aldehyde in addition to the hydroxycitronellal and Lyral. The tuberose character can be given by the use of the Schiff base derived from methyl anthranilate and Helional, or by the direct addition of methyl anthranilate. The mossy side of the perfume is represented by Evemyl. 

Although natural flower absolutes are less important than in Chanel No. 5 and Arpege in establishing the essential character of the fragrance, rose, jasmin, and tuberose may be added, together with tonka, to back up the coumarin (1.5%), and a trace of natural vanilla. A trace also of ambrette seed can give a wonderful smoothness to the composition, working particularly well as part of the rose accord. 

In this way, many other cannon and uncommon flowers such as jasmine, narcissus, osmanthus, honeysuckle, l acinth, lily-of-the-valley, lilac, and tuberose have been analyzed. In all cases, considerable differences have been observed in the aroma profiles of the living and picked flowers. In connection with the living flower analytical program, the concept was also extended to the flavor field, especially fruits. The fruits and flowers work has served as the basis of a recent report to the 10th International Congress of Essential Oils in Washington, D.C. in 1986. 

The old warrior carried a necklace with her cameo portrait and a pressed violet, one of her favourite flowers, around with him, and on her death visited her grave to strew it with violets. One of his own dying wishes was to be buried in a certain spot at St. Helena where his soul would be soothed by the sweet smell of tuberose. 

Alkanolides (hydroxyalkanoic acid lactones), y- and 6-lactones usually occur together in flavors, as well as in flower extracts, e. g. tuberose absolute. In fruit flavors such as apricot, mango, nectarine, and peach 4-A. are more frequent, while in butter and coconut flavor the 6-lactones predominate. The lactones Cg-C 2... 

Occurrence In many flowers (oils), e.g., wallflower, jasmin(e) absolute, orange oils, tuberose absolute, and ylang-ylang oil as well as the juice of the Concord grape (Vitis labrusca). M. is also responsible for the characteristic odor of the fruit bodies of Cortina-rius odoratus and Hygrophoropsis olida.

Perfumes can be categorized as flower perfumes and fancy perfumes. For flower perfumes, floral fragrance like roses, jasmine or tuberoses is used as a base to manufacture perfumes with single floral fragrance perfumes or multi-floral fragrance perfumes. Fancy perfume uses natural beings other than flowers as a base to express forests, grasses, places, landscapes, characters, music or certain atmospheres. 

The flowers of the tuberose Polianthes lubeiosa are cultivated to a considerable extent in the South of France, and are principally used for the manufacture of concretes, pomades, and similar perfume materials. 

G. Pommade F. pommade P. is a perfume material prepared by a traditional fat extraction method called enfleurage. The extremely labor-intensive and costly process is only applied to certain flowers (e. g., jasmine and tuberose), where it yields sufficiently different results compared to hydrocarbon solvent - extraction. 

T. is a tall, slender, long-stemmed plant with several small, white flowers alongside the top part of the stem. The flowers are extremely fragrant, especially at night, and continue to be so for several days after being picked. This makes them an ideal material for the production of a floral - pommade, which then is frirther extracted to jdeld tuberose absolute.
