Piesik, Dariusz published the artcileEffect of Lugus sp. feeding and a saponin application on volatiles released by quinoa, Safety of Benzyl acetate, the main research area is Chenopodium Lygus saponin volatile compound.
In consequence of insect feeding and saponin application tested quinoa plants released large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to compare to control. For cv. ‘Faro’ these were the following components: (Z)-3-hexenal – (Z)-3-HAL, (E)-2-hexenal – (E)-2-HAL, (Z)-3-hexen-1 -ol – (Z)-3-HOL, (E)-2-hexen-1 -ol – (E)-2-HOL, (Z)-3-hexen-1 -yl acetate – (Z)-3-HAC, 1 -hexyl acetate – 1 -HAC, (Z)-ocimene – (Z)-OCI, benzyl acetate – BAC, Me salicylate – MAT, β- caryophyllene – β-CAR, (E)-β-farnesene – (E)-β-FAR. Cv. ‘Puno’ released 7 VOCs and these were: (Z)-3-HAL, (Z)-3- HOL, (Z)-3-HAC, (Z)-OCI, MAT, β-CAR, and (E)- β-FAR. The fragrance bouquet of the third of variety tested (cv. ‘Titicaca’) consisted of 6 components: (Z)-3-HAL, (E)-2-HAL, (E)-2-HOL, (Z)-3-HAC, (Z)-OCI, and β-CAR. In general, much larger VOCs emission was observed in plants after insect feeding compared to saponin applications and especially control.
Pakistan Journal of Botany published new progress about Chenopodium quinoa. 140-11-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Benzyl acetate, and the molecular formula is C9H10O2, Safety of Benzyl acetate.
