Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid (ethephon), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on production of aroma volatile compounds and ethylene by ‘Delicious’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ apples [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] during ripening were investigated. Forty-four volatile compounds in ‘Delicious’ and 40 compounds in ‘Golden Delicious’ were d...

Plants that were infested by the wheat stem sawfly emitted significantly increased amounts of the secondary metabolites linalool, linalool oxide, ß-farnesene, ß-caryophyllene, and 4-heptanone in comparison to uninfested plants. Wheat plants parasitized by Fusarium species also have emitted volatiles. The amount of volatiles released varied by infective species of Fusarium and volatile patterns ...

Essential oils from pipilongo seeds (Piper tuberculatum) was extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide. The extraction was performed as a function of particle size of the grinded seeds. The highest yield (2,812%) was obtained with the smallest particle size. The chemical composition analysis of the oil by GC-MS led to identify 15 compounds, some of which are β-elemene, caryophyllene, β-farne...

Eight major chemicals are identified after analyzing the essential oil of the seeds of three medicinal plants Punica granatum, Vitis vinifera and Cucurbita maxima, using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Only three of the identified chemicals (Farnesene, Docosane and Tetracosane) were found in all three samples, but in varying proportions. Trans-Squalene was found in Cucurbita maxim...

the chemical composition of the volatile oil from aerial parts of hypericum triquetrifolium turra was studied by gc-ms. fifty components (97.1% of the total composition) were detected in the volatile oil. germacrene-d (21.7%), b-caryophyllene (18.3%), d-cadinene (6.4%), trans -b-farnesene (4.3%), a-humulene (3.8%), b-selinene (3.7%), γ-cadinene (3.3%) and trans -phytol (3.2%) were found to be t...

Abstract. The viscosity of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is needed to improve predictions air quality, climate, and atmospheric chemistry. Many techniques have been developed measure the micrometer-sized materials at room temperature; however, few are able as a function temperature for these small sample sizes. SOA in troposphere experience wide range temperatures, so measurement needed. To a...
