A practical method of deodorizing cut gypsophilas (Gypsophila paniculata L.)

When about 20% of the cut gypsophila inflorescences were open, 2-phenylethylalcohol (500 mul¥l-1) added to the vase solution reduced the emission of methylbutyric acids, which are responsible for their unpleasant odor, to one-third. Benzyl alcohol (500 mul¥l-1), titanium tetrachloride (19 mg¥l-1) an...

Zusammenfassung:When about 20% of the cut gypsophila inflorescences were open, 2-phenylethylalcohol (500 mul¥l-1) added to the vase solution reduced the emission of methylbutyric acids, which are responsible for their unpleasant odor, to one-third. Benzyl alcohol (500 mul¥l-1), titanium tetrachloride (19 mg¥l-1) and abietic acid (30 mg¥l-1) also decreased the emission of methylbutyric acid to nearly half, while ethanol (500 mul¥l-1) had no effect. The amount of methylbutyric acids emitted coincided well with the results of a sensory test.
