Rapid Detection of Vanilla Bean Extract Adulteration with Tonka Bean Extract with No Chromatography or Sample Preparation

The production of vanilla beans is quite expensive, since it is a very labor intensive process and harvesting takes place two to three years after planting. Due to this, the price of natural vanilla bean extract is quite expensive. It is quite often adulterated with cheaper tonka bean extract, which smells and tastes like vanilla bean extract due to the presence of a compound called coumarin1. ...

Glucosides of coumarinic and o-coumaric acids in the tonka bean.

The beta-glucosides of coumarinic and o-coumaric acids were detected in extracts of cotyledons, exocarps, and seedling leaves of the tonka bean. The existence of these compounds and the presence of a beta-glucosidase having specificity for coumarinyl glucoside suggest that the tonka bean synthesizes coumarin by a pathway similar to the one found in sweetclover.

Concentration of Photosynthetic Pigments and Chlorophyll Fluorescence of Mahogany and Tonka Bean under Two Light Environments

This study was carried out in a plantation of a degraded area in Central Amazon, Brazil, in order to assess environmental light effects on leaf pigment concentrations and chlorophyll a fluorescence in mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) and tonka bean (Dipteryx odorata Aubl. Willd). Three-year old saplings were grown in an open site (sun) with maximum radiation of approximately 2000 μmol m s ...
