Abstract
The aroma characteristics of flowers and leaves from G. jasminoides were comprehensively explored using HS-GC-MS technology, coupled to relative odour activity value (rOAV) determination and PCA analysis. A total of 116 volatiles were identified in G. jasminoides, with 71 common volatiles detected in both the leaves (GJ-L) and flowers (GJ-F). Alkenes were found to be the most abundant volatiles in both samples, both in terms of quantity and relative abundance. Notably, 2,3-butanedione (rOAV = 100) was identified as the key contributor to buttery aroma in GJ-F, while 3-methylbutanal (rOAV = 100) was the principal contributor to fruity odour in GJ-L. PCA further revealed significant differences in the aroma characteristics between GJ-F and GJ-L. This study enhances our understanding of the volatile compositions and odour characteristics of different parts (flowers and leaves) of G. jasminoides, providing a theoretical basis for the development and utilisation of products derived from G. jasminoides.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
