DAMASCENOLIDE [, 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)furan-2(5)-one], which has a citrus-like odor, is an important aroma component of roses. We have previously reported on the synthesis and odor evaluation of double-bond isomers of and concluded that the position and the geometric isomerism of the double-bond had a significant effect on the odor. For the purpose of deepening knowledge about structure-odor relationships, we synthesized 13 analogs of compound and evaluated their odors. As a result, it was found that the presence of two double-bonds and branched methyl group at the terminal position in the side chain was essential in order to have a citrus-like odor. Substitution of the side chain with appropriate length at the appropriate 4-position of the 2(5)-furanone ring was also an important factor in determining the quality of the odor.

The aroma and nutrition of Japanese apricot fruit change continuously as the fruit ripens. The differences in fruit aroma and nutrition can affect the resulting wine, which is produced by steeping the Japanese apricot fruit. In this study, we used HS-SPME-GC-MS to examine the aromatic compositions of Japanese apricot fruit and wine produced from its macerated fruit at different levels of ripeness.

This research aims to identify aroma compounds, their combinations, and statistical relationships to classify and characterize wines produced in small, defined areas known as "terroirs", which share edaphoclimatic characteristics grape varieties, viticultural practices, harvest timing, and winemaking processes. The goal is to deepen the understanding of the relationship between the terroir and wine typicity. This study analyzed the contents based on enological parameters, the major and minor volatile compounds of the young wines produced in three wineries across two vintages, using the Pedro Ximenez white grape variety cultivated in different terroirs within the same quality zone.
