Production of a root‐specific flavour compound, 2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxy benzaldehyde by normal root cultures of Decalepis hamiltonii Wight and Arn (Asclepiadaceae)

Abstract: The flavour compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzaldehyde from normal roots of swallow root (Decalepis hamiltonii) raised in vitro was extracted with dichloromethane, evaporated to dryness and dissolved in ethanol for qualitative (TLC) and quantitative (GC-MS) analysis. Maximum root biomass and the maximum content of flavour compound (40 ± 2.1 µg g −1 dry weight) were recorded after 45 days of growth on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 1.0 mg l −1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid.

“…Also studies to some extent substantiated this plant tuber's usage in traditional medicine as an appetizer and blood purifier and also as an edible in making recipes (Pradeep et al 2016a). Similarly, through biotechnological intervention, effective in vitro propagation methods and alternate mode of flavour attributing 2H4MB production by using in vitro root cultures was reported (Giridhar et al 2005;Giridhar 2016, 2017). In view of the increasing demand for the tubers of D. hamiltonii, there is a concern on its survivability and existence as the local ethnic communities yank the tubers through destructive harvest method for economic gains.…”

“…Micropropagation studies on D. arayalpathra were done [7,8] and analyzed MBALD in normal root cultures of this plant. According to the work reported the allied species, D. hamiltonii also produce MBALD [9]. In vitro secondary metabolite production is enhanced through the application of a variety of elicitors to plant cell or tissue culture systems.…”
