Kesom Oil—A Natural Source of Aliphatic Aldehydes

The recent investigation of the plant habitats and the chemical analysis of the essential oils obtained from the leaves and stems provided some new findings that could prove highly useful to the flavour and fragrance industry. In this report the habitats of Polygonum minus Huds. and the chemical composition of leaf and stem oils are presented, and the possible relevance of Kesom oil as a new product is discussed.

Research article: Biotransformation of Unsaturated Aliphatic Aldehydes Using Baker’s Yeast

Actively fermenting baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) not only converts aliphatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, but also may reduce certain carbon-carbon double bonds in the same molecule. Furthermore, an in situ acyloin condensation reaction occurs; this bioconversion reaction gives rise to relatively good yields of unsaturated 2,3-diols, which have two carbon atoms more than the corresponding aliphatic aldehyde used as substrate. Baker’s yeast has been used as a reagent in organic synthesis since the beginning of the 20th century, when fundamental studies were initiated on the mechanism of formation of fusel alcohols from the corresponding l-amino acids during the formation of ethanol.
