BACKGROUND In Serbia, delicatessen fruit alc. drinks are produced from autochthonous fruit-bearing species such as cornelian cherry, blackberry, elderberry, wild strawberry, European wild apple, European blueberry and blackthorn fruits. There are no chem. data on many of these and herein we analyzed volatile minor constituents of these rare fruit distillates. Our second goal was to determine possible chem. markers of these distillates through a statistical/multivariate treatment of the herein obtained and previously reported data. RESULTS Detailed chem. analyses revealed a complex volatile profile of all studied fruit distillates with 371 identified compounds A number of constituents were recognized as marker compounds for a particular distillate. Moreover, 33 of them represent newly detected flavor constituents in alc. beverages or, in general, in foodstuffs. With the aid of multivariate analyses, these volatile profiles were successfully exploited to infer the origin of raw materials used in the production of these spirits. It was also shown that all fruit distillates possessed weak antimicrobial properties. CONCLUSION It seems that the aroma of these highly esteemed wild-fruit spirits depends on the subtle balance of various minor volatile compounds, whereby some of them are specific to a certain type of fruit distillate and enable their mutual distinction. © 2014 Society of Chem. Industry. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate (cas: 15399-05-0COA of Formula: C11H14O3).
Ethyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate (cas: 15399-05-0) belongs to esters. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.COA of Formula: C11H14O3
