Abstract
Seasonal variations of yield and composition in microwave extracts from mature and immature Eucalyptus bosistoana leaves were monitored for 2 years. The highest yield (average 16.7 μL/g (fresh)) and percentage of 1,8-cineole (average 67.1%) were obtained from the leaves collected during summer and the lowest during winter. Mature leaves contained a significantly higher (p ≤ .001) proportion of 1,8-cineole in their extract (60.9%) than immature leaves (44.6%). Total yield ranged from 3.0 to 27.0 μL/g (fresh) in mature leaves and from 6.0 to 26.7 μL/g (fresh) in immature leaves. Significant differences between half-sibling families were observed, indicating genetic control of these traits. E. bosistoana leaf extracts could be comparable in quality and quantity to that of E. globulus, the species dominating global essential eucalyptus oil production. Oil quality and quantity could be optimized by harvesting mature leaves during summer from superior families.
期刊介绍:
Flavour and Fragrance Journal publishes original research articles, reviews and special reports on all aspects of flavour and fragrance. Its high scientific standards and international character is ensured by a strict refereeing system and an editorial team representing the multidisciplinary expertise of our field of research. Because analysis is the matter of many submissions and supports the data used in many other domains, a special attention is placed on the quality of analytical techniques. All natural or synthetic products eliciting or influencing a sensory stimulus related to gustation or olfaction are eligible for publication in the Journal. Eligible as well are the techniques related to their preparation, characterization and safety. This notably involves analytical and sensory analysis, physical chemistry, modeling, microbiology – antimicrobial properties, biology, chemosensory perception and legislation.
The overall aim is to produce a journal of the highest quality which provides a scientific forum for academia as well as for industry on all aspects of flavors, fragrances and related materials, and which is valued by readers and contributors alike.
