Gas Chromatographic Analysis on Turkish Rose Oil, Absolute and Concrete

The analysis of rose products maybe realized by gas or liquid chromatographic techniques. Our investigations showed that liquid chromatography have been used only in a few studies to separate essential oils and terpenoid compounds, and a sufficient separation has not been obtained.

Literature Review: The Debate over Rational Odor Design

The hypothesis of olfactory receptors as metalloproteins and the future of odorant design. In his recent volume, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell, Luca Turin describes his passion for perfume and his pursuit of olfactive mysteries. Turin re-broached the vibrational theory of olfaction and proposed a transduction mechanism of primary olfactory reception.

Demonstrating perfume fixation

Quantitative evidence of fragrance fixation by a 20 mole propoxylate of methyl glucoside was obtained by subjecting a representative series of pure aroma chemicals to accurately measured evaporation and retention studies over time segments of 1,3,6 and 24 hours. The number and variety of aroma chemicals studied permits application of the results to most of the remaining aroma chemicals in the perfumer’s repertory. Improved fixation is possible at very modest cost with this simple application technology.

Does evidencebased methodology support this contention?
