TL;DR: The sesquiterpene fraction of Olearia paniculata has been separated by distillation into three fractions as discussed by the authors : (±)-ar-curcumene, (±)γ-curcene and (γ)-curcuminene.
Abstract: The sesquiterpene fraction of the oil of Olearia paniculata has been separated by distillation into three fractions. The first of these appears to be aromadendrene, while the second and third are shown to be (±)-ar-curcumene and (±)-γ-curcumene respectively.
TL;DR: Seeds from 48 New Zealand native plants, were tested for lipoxygenase enzymes and subsequent formation of products from linoleic and a-linolenic acid as discussed by the authors, and all species except Chionochloaflavescens were able to oxidise the trienoic acid to form 13-positional isomers.
Abstract: Seeds from 48 New Zealand native plants, were tested for lipoxygenase enzymes and subsequent formation of products from linoleic and a‐linolenic acid. Lipoxygenases are of interest to the food and biotechnology industries as a means of producing natural flavour substances. Extracts of Gunnera hamiltonii possessed the highest lipoxygenase activity of 5.6 .tmol min‐1 g‐1. Analysis of the 13‐ and 9‐positional isomers of the oxidation products of linoleic acid showed that Melicystus lanceolatus × M. flexuosa, Pseudopanax arboreus, Carmichaelia kirkii, Dianella nigra, and Olearia paniculata produced higher proportions of the 13‐derivatives. Hoheria populnea, Solanum laciniatum, and Urtica australis produced predominately the 9‐isomers. Analysis of the 13‐ and 9‐positional isomers of the oxidation products of a‐linolenic acid showed that all species except Chionochloaflavescens were able to oxidise the trienoic acid to form 13‐positional isomers. Olearia ilicifolia produced only 13‐positional isomers. ...
TL;DR: The leaves of Olearia paniculata contain pectolinarigenin (5,7-dihydroxy-6,4′-dimethoxyflavone), long-chain aliphatic esters, the hydrocarbons C29H60 and C31H64, and the triterpenoids epifriedelinol, lupeol, α-amyrin, and isoursenol.
