Gas chromatographic examination of an essential oil of Santolina chamaecyparissus L.

It is the considered opinion of the authors that in view of the good growth habits of S. chamaecyparissus, an oil could be obtained economically from this plant. However, because of its odour similarity with tansy oil, the oil would probably only be used in compositions where tansy oil has been used. Because there is no composition known to the authors in which tansy oil is a major component, the authors feel that potential exploitation of S. chamaecyparissus oil for commercial use is probably limited.

Response Surface Methodology in Flavor Research— Reaction of Rhamnose and Proline

Without appropriate experimental designs it is not possible to properly assess interactions along with the contribution of each variable. Response Surface Methodology helps us do this and is another tool for understanding the effects of reaction conditions on Maillard-type flavors

Unsaturated Components in the Essential Oil of Anthemis nobilis L. (Roman Chamomile)

French authors recently presented their analytical findings on the oil using the negative chemical ionization technique in mass spectrometry. They tracked the GLC profile of the complete oil with the mass numbers of the quasi-molecular ions [M-H]- in combination with the carboxylate anion RCOO-. Thereby inter alia the presence of five esters derived from methacrylic or crotonic acid was reported, however, without giving definite structural assignments for the individual components. The same holds for eight esters of the angelate or tiglate type, respectively. We have worked in a more traditional way and wish here to present the results concerning some of these methacrylates, crotonates, angelates and tiglates. All esters mentioned by us have proved by comparison with authentic synthetically prepared samples.
