Eryngial: An α,β-Unsaturated Fatty Aldehyde as the Major Phytotoxin in Spiny Coriander (Eryngium foetidum L.) Essential Oil.

Weed species many times possess allelochemicals as a part of their survival strategy. These metabolites can be potential targets in search of natural phytotoxins. This study aims to evaluate the phytotoxic ability of fatty aldehyde-rich essential oil from spiny coriander (Eryngium foetidum) leaves, also known as fitweed or spiritweed and to further identify the active phytotoxins.

An assessment for in vitro propagation and genetic stability of Phoebe goalparensis Hutchinson, an endemic valuable timber tree of North East India.

Background: Phoebe goalparensis is an endemic forest species of North East India that belongs to Lauraceae family. P. goalparensis is used as timbers yielding plants for commercial importance in the local furniture markets of North East India.

Mushroom-Mediated Reductive Bioconversion of Aldehyde-Rich Essential Oils for Aroma Alteration: A Rose-like Floral Bioflavor from Citronella Oil.

The bioflavors are of high demand in food and beverage industries. The current study identified reductive processes mediated by mushroom species to alter the aroma of aldehyde-rich essential oils in the submerged culture. , a polypore mushroom, reduced citronellal and citral in the citronella oil into corresponding alcohols that altered the oil aroma, creating a new bioflavor.

Thermolabile essential oils, aromas and flavours: Degradation pathways, effect of thermal processing and alteration of sensory quality.

Plant-based aroma chemicals, constituting the essential oils play a great role as the natural flavours and preservatives in the food industries. Many of these metabolites are susceptible to degradation under heat (i.e.
