Published: September 2000

Vilsmeier reagents react with alpha/beta-ionones and carvone to produce aldehydes 7-11 in a one-step procedure. The indene derivative 11, which came from the double iminoalkylation of carvone and ring closure with the elimination of dimethylamine, was practically odourless, while all the others had peculiar odours which were very different from the starting material. The cytotoxicity data of 9 and 10, which are the most promising potential perfume ingredients, are also reported.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on three coffee estates in New South Wales, aiming to enhance the flavor profiles of Australian coffee through different processing methods (wet fermented and non-fermented).
  • Researchers analyzed 33 volatile compounds in both green and roasted coffee beans, identifying various esters, alcohols, acids, and more, while also assessing sensory characteristics like appearance and flavor.
  • Findings indicated that wet fermentation improved certain desirable aromas and flavors in coffee, particularly enhancing notes associated with premium coffees, such as "black tea leaves" and "dark chocolate."

Shaking, essential in oolong tea production, is becoming an innovative method to impart floral fragrance. Research on shaking primarily concentrates on biological underpinnings, including modifications in gene expression and stress-triggered enzymatic catalysis, and consequent physicochemical properties. Water phase and distribution, reshaped by shaking and affected the biological and physicochemical alterations of tea leaves, is always ignored.

Bradysia odoriphaga (Diptera: Sciaridae) is a devastating underground pest that can cause serious economic losses. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial components of the insect olfactory system, playing key roles in locating host plants, oviposition sites, and mates. Therefore, they are considered potential targets for pest control.
