Bera, Paramita published the artcileDevelopmental variation in floral volatiles composition of a fragrant orchid Zygopetalum maculatum (Kunth) Garay, Synthetic Route of 140-11-4, the main research area is Zygopetalum volatile; (Kunth) Garay; benzenoids; headspace scent volatiles; phenylpropanoid.
Emitted scent volatile profile of an orchid species Zygopetalum maculatum was studied using dynamic headspace sampling technique with four different adsorbent matrixes, namely Porapak Type Q polymer (mesh size: 80/100), Tenax (mesh size: 60/80), activated charcoal and graphite. In addition, developmental variations in scent emissions and endogenous volatile levels were also investigated. Gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry anal. revealed the presence of 21 volatile compounds in the headspace, which was predominantly enriched with benzenoid compounds Among these benzenoids, o-diethylbenzene and p-diethylbenzene were the major compounds followed by benzyl acetate and Me salicylate. Among the phenylpropanoid compounds, 2-phenylethyl acetate was the major volatile. However, as compared to benzenoids, the quantity was much lesser, indicating the inclination of phenylalanine flux towards benzenoid pathway. The outcome of this study has the implications in enhancing fragrance and vase life of orchids of the Sikkim Himalaya region and thus may further help to meet the growing market demand.
