The primary monoterpene accumulated in the glandular trichomes of spearmint (Mentha spicata) is the ketone (-)-carvone which is formed by cyclization of the C(10) isoprenoid intermediate geranyl pyrophosphate to the olefin (-)-limonene, hydroxylation to (-)-trans-carveol and subsequent dehydrogenation. Selective extraction of the contents of the glandular trichomes indicated that essentially al...

introduction : flavors play an important role in consumer satisfaction and influence further consumption of foods. most available aroma compounds are produced via chemical synthesis or extraction. foodstuffs containing synthetic flavor in many cases are avoided, because the consumers suspect that these compounds are toxic or harmful to their health. recently, the market of flavors is focused in...

The application of soil mulching is widely used to improve crop productivity within semiarid regions Mediterranean environments. A field study was conducted during two consecutive cycles spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) the rainfed region Southern Italy evaluate effects straw mulch cultivation practices on yields and ecophysiological activities. Four treatments were evaluated: (1) with (RM), (2) w...

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence cell wall composed lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate effects fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards lignocellulosic content (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well yield and composition, diffusion coefficient obtained different extraction metho...
