Volatile compounds of roses: characterization of cultivars based on the headspace analysis of living flower emissions

The present work is based on the comparative headspace analysis of twenty-seven varieties of living roses. A classification of the volatile constituents into six functional groups including the most abundant and characteristic chemicals is proposed: hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, est...

Summary:The present work is based on the comparative headspace analysis of twenty-seven varieties of living roses. A classification of the volatile constituents into six functional groups including the most abundant and characteristic chemicals is proposed: hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, esters, aromatic ethers and other miscellaneous functions. A presentation of the analytical results is given in the form of a stylized flower (exogram): this graphical illustration allows at one glance a symbolization and recognition of odoriferous flowers or any other scenting living plant material
