Identification of a New High Essential Oil Yielding Variety “Jor Lab AC-1′′of Acorus calamus L. was written by Lal, Mohan;Borah, Angana;Pandey, Sudin Kumar. And the article was included in Journal of Essential Oil-Bearing Plants in 2019.Reference of 868-57-5 This article mentions the following:
Acorus calamus L. (sweet flag) is an aromatic medicinal plant, generally found in the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. It is used since ages in traditional medicine and now-a-days it is also used in various com. and pharmaceutical industries for its medicinal and aromatic properties. The aim of the present study was to identify a high essential oil yielding variety of A. calamus. In this study, fourty germplasm were collected from different parts of India and planted in RBD during the year 2014. All agronomical and oil quality data were recorded. After evaluation of two season data, a high essential oil genotype was identified and was named as “Jor Lab AC-01â²â? The elite genotype was evaluated in five different locations (Jorhat, Lakhimijan, Pasighat, Imphal and Madang) during the year 2017. Data recorded from the five locations across Northeast India gave satisfactory and stable results. The average essential oil yield was found to be 1.20 %, which is significantly higher as compared to the check variety (0.62 %). The line is suitable for further com. cultivation. This new variety can be commercialized, and the farmers would be benefited by this superior variety. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5Reference of 868-57-5).
Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits. Many esters have the potential for conformational isomerism, but they tend to adopt an s-cis (or Z) conformation rather than the s-trans (or E) alternative, due to a combination of hyperconjugation and dipole minimization effects. The preference for the Z conformation is influenced by the nature of the substituents and solvent, if present. Lactones with small rings are restricted to the s-trans (i.e. E) conformation due to their cyclic structure.Reference of 868-57-5
