Rp. Niedz et al., ANALYSIS OF SWEET ORANGE (CITRUS-SINENSIS (L.) OSBECK) CALLUS-CULTURES FOR VOLATILE COMPOUNDS BY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH MASS-SELECTIVE DETECTOR, Plant cell, tissue and organ culture, 51(3), 1997, pp. 181-185
Volatile constituents of embryogenic and nonembryogenic sweet orange (
Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) callus cultures were analyzed by gas chro
matography-mass spectrometry to determine if sweet orange flavor essen
ces were produced. Fifteen compounds were identified from the embryoge
nic callus methylene chloride extracts, with 10 previously reported as
volatile constituents of orange juice or peel essential oil, 3 are kn
own fermentation products, 2 have no reported aroma, and 2 were unknow
n. No volatile compounds were detected from nonembryogenic callus meth
ylene chloride extracts.
