Characteristic chemical components of the essential oil from white kwao krua (Pueraria mirifica) was written by Yagi, Nobuo;Nakahashi, Hiroshi;Kobayashi, Tomohiro;Miyazawa, Mitsuo. And the article was included in Journal of Oleo Science in 2013.Category: esters-buliding-blocks The following contents are mentioned in the article:
The components of the essential oil from the roots of Pueraria mirifica were analyzed by capillary gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Eighty-two components, representing 88.5% of the total oil, were identified by GC-MS. The main component of the oil was 2-pentylfuran, followed by hexanal and hexadecanol. With regard to the odor components from the essential oil of P. mirifica as determined by gas chromatog.-olfactometry and aroma extract dilution anal., it was revealed that phenylacetaldehyde and (2E)-nonenal imparted the green odor of the oil, and geraniol contributed to the sweet odor. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7) 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, including apples, durians, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
