A volatile concentrate obtained from rose water (ex. Rosa damascena fl owers) by liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane was studied by GC and GC/MS. The volatiles consisted mainly of 2-phenylethanol (69.7-81.6%), linalool (1.5-3.3%), citronellol (1.8-7.2%), nerol (0.2-4.2%), geraniol (0.9-7.0%) along with rose oxides and all other characteristic minor rose compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
