Effects of ethyl palmitate on the release of aroma compounds in propanediol-ethanol solution and its mechanisms.

Long-chain esters (LCEs) are known to affect aroma perception, but the mechanism of their effects remains unclear. In this study, ethyl palmitate (EP), an important LCE in flower absolute (OFFA), was selected as a target to identify its role and mechanism. The release characteristics of 10 aroma compounds from OFFA with and without EP were obtained by headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-GC/MS) and olfactometry evaluation, respectively.

Benzyl 5-phenyl-pyrazolo-[5,1-a]isoquino-line-1-carboxyl-ate.

In the title compound, C(25)H(18)N(2)O(2), the pyrazolo-[5,1-a]iso-quin-oline ring system is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.027 (2) Å] and is oriented at dihedral angles of 57.22 (6) and 71.
