The synthesis of (+)-nootkatone by chemical oxidation from (+)-valencene cannot meet the increasing demand in natural aromatics markets. Development of a viable bioprocess using microorganisms is attractive. According to the yields of b-nootkatol and (+)-nootkatone by strains harboring different expression cassettes in the resting cell assay, premnaspirodiene oxygenase from Hyoscyamus muticus (HPO), cytochrome P450 reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtCPR) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were finally selected and overexpressed in CEN$PK2-1Ca, À1 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. yielding b-nootkatol and (+)-nootkatone with 170.5 and 45.6 mg L ethyl acetate, respectively. A combinational engineering strategy including promoter change, regulator ROX1 knockout, squalene pathway inhibition, and tHMGR overexpression was performed to achieve de novo (+)-valencene production. Subsequent culture investigations found that galactose as the induced carbon source and a lower temperature (25 C) were beneficial to target accumulation. Also, replacing the inducible promoters (GAL1) of HPO and AtCPR with constitutive promoters (HXT7 and CYC1) dramatically increased the b-nootkatol accumulation from 108.2 to 327.8 mg LÀ1 ethyl acetate in resting-cell Received 18th July 2019 experiments using (+)-valencene as a substrate.

Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

The volatile constituents from roots of Valeriana officinalis L. were investigated using GC and GC/MS methods. Valerianae radix samples were obtained from retail pharmacies or cultivated in Estonia. The roots of five V. officinalis samples yielded 0.28–1.16% essential oil in the cut drug, which usually corresponded (four samples) to the European Pharmacopeia standard (0.3%). The basic oil components among the identified 84 compounds were isovaleric acid (0–2.1%), α-pinene (0.4–3.6%), α-fenchene (0.6–5.8%), camphene (0.6–5.9%), bornyl acetate (8.8–33.7%), myrtenyl acetate (2.0–7.2%), alloaromadendrene (0.3–7.6%), myrtenyl isovalerate (1.1–2.5%), spathulenol (0.7–4.1%), sesquiterpene alcohol (0.8–6.6%), valerianol (0.3–16.7%), valeranone (0.5–9.4%), and valerenal (tr–14.7%). Valerian root oil from Estonia (four samples) was rich in bornyl acetate and valerenal. Bornyl acetate, valerianol, and valeranone dominated in one Estonian sample. Key words: Valeriana officinalis L., essential oil, bornyl acetate, valerenal, valerianol, valeranone. INTRODUCTION Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) is a well-known and frequently used medicinal plant, which has a long proven history of efficacy.

  • Essential Oil Components of Alaska Cedar Heartwood Signature Redacted for Privacy
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Yeping Xiong for the degree of Master of Science in Forest Products presented on December 8, 2000. Title: Essential Oil Components of Alaska Cedar Heartwood Signature redacted for privacy. Abstract approved: 0 JosephVKarchesy C/7 The essential oil of Alaska cedar heartwood is known to contain compounds which contribute to the remarkable durability of this species. While previous research has identified several compounds, a complete description of this oil, which has a "burnt-grape fruit" odor, has not been undertaken. In this research a profile of the oil is given in which the major components are identified by GC-MS, isolation and spectroscopic techniques. The major components of the steam distilled essential oil were identified as nootkatin, nootkatone, valencene, nootaktene, carvacrol, methyl carvacrol, nootkatol, and eremophil- 1(10),11-dien-13-ol. In addition, it was found that the diethyl ether extract of the heartwood contained 1(10)- eremophilen-11,12-epoxide as a major component in addition to the compounds found in the steam distilled essential oil. 1(10)-Eremophilen-11,12-epoxide apparently does not survive the condition of steam distillation. Nootkatol, eremophil-1(10),11-dien-13-ol and 1(10)- eremophilen-11,12-epoxide have not been previously reported in Alaska cedar. Nootkatol is a known compound having been reported in other plants. However, eremophil-1(10),11-dien-13-ol and 1(10)-eremophilen- 11,12-epoxide represent new chemical structures to science being described here for the first time.

    Application Note Cannabis & Hemp Testing Terpenes Analysis in Cannabis Products by Liquid Injection using the Agilent Intuvo 9000/5977B GC/MS System Authors Abstract Jeffery S. Hollis1, Terpenes are volatile and semivolatile chemicals that engender flavor and Terry Harper1, and aroma organoleptic properties to cannabis and cannabinoid products. Cannabis Anthony Macherone1,2 growers and producers use terpene profiles to characterize specific strains of 1 Agilent Technologies, Inc. cannabis and hemp. To this end, a robust analytical method is necessary to 2 Johns Hopkins University chemically profile terpenes in cannabis and cannabinoid products prior to use in School of Medicine medicinal and recreational marijuana programs. Although regulatory agencies such as the California Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) do not regulate terpene content unless there is a specific label claim, terpenes are commonly analyzed in regulatory laboratories.1 The most common approach to terpenes analyses in these laboratories is headspace gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detection (FID), mass spectrometry (MS), or both (FID/MS). Over the past several years, issues such as losses of sesquiterpenoids like α-bisabolol have been observed in high-potency cannabis samples with headspace methodologies. This has led to a need for liquid injection terpenes analysis. In this application note, we demonstrated a selective, sensitive, and robust method for the analysis of 40 chromatographically resolved terpenes common to Cannabis spp. using liquid injection GC/MS.

Therefore, the aim was to investigate the antibacterial activity of 33 free terpenes commonly found in essential oils and evaluate the cellular ultrastructure to verify possible damage to the cellular membrane. Methods: Screening was performed to select substances with possible antimicrobial activity, then the minimal inhibitory concentrations, bactericidal activity and 24-h time-kill curve studies were evaluated by standard protocols. In addition, the ultrastructure of control and death bacteria were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Results: Only 16 of the 33 compounds had antimicrobial activity at the initial screening. Eugenol exhibited rapid bactericidal action against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (2 h). Terpineol showed excellent bactericidal activity against S. aureus strains. Carveol, citronellol and geraniol presented a rapid bactericidal effect against E. coli. Conclusions: The higher antimicrobial activity was related to the presence of hydroxyl groups (phenolic and alcohol compounds), whereas hydrocarbons resulted in less activity.
