TL;DR: In this paper, an experiment was conducted on field distillation unit to distil rose oil and rose water from the fresh flowers of Damask rose (Rosa damascena mill.) under different pressures and temperatures to study and compare the essential oil composition by GC-FID.
Abstract: Experiments were conducted on field distillation unit to distil rose oil and rose water from the fresh flowers of Damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) under different pressures and temperatures to study and compare the essential oil composition by GC-FID. The monoterpene hydrocarbons and esters were found to be in traces, and stearoptene content was found to be higher in the oil distilled under high pressure, as compared to oil produced under atmospheric pressure. In general, the percentage of total alcohols (55.25-83.41%) in rose oil increased with the increase in pressure and temperature of the distillation. Physicochemical properties of rose oil distilled at varying level of temperatures and pressures are discussed. A comparative study was also conducted of rose oil constituents from dichloromethane-extracted rose water and redistilled rose water under atmospheric and higher pressure. At higher pressure early-eluting components in the GC column were present in traces and decrease in total alcoholic content was observed. It can be concluded that distillation conducted under pressure does not yield good quality oil. However, dichloromethane-extracted rose oil from rose water carries a higher amount of 2-phenylethyl alcohol. The total rose alcohol content present in rose water was higher than in rose oil.
TL;DR: Damascenone as mentioned in this paper is an odoriferous ketone isolated in minute amounts from Bulgarian rose oil (Rosa damascena mill.) is shown to be trans-2,6,6-trimethyl-1-crotonoyl-cyclohexa-1, 3-diene (I).
Abstract: Damascenone1 an odoriferous ketone isolated in minute amounts from Bulgarian rose oil (Rosa damascena Mill.) is shown to be trans-2,6,6-trimethyl-1-crotonoyl-cyclohexa-1, 3-diene (I). A synthesis starting from beta;-cyclocitral is described for this conspicuous constituent of rose oil, which displays a powerful fragrance. The synthesis of four related, more saturated ketones, damascones2 , is also described.
TL;DR: 2-phenethyl alcohol and citronellol produced the same anti-conflict effects in both tests as rose oil, and it was concluded that they are the pharmacologically active constituents of anti-anxiety-like effect of rose oil.
TL;DR: In this article, two kinds of rose (Rosa damascena Miller) oil were used: decanted oil distilled from the fresh petals (DOFP) and blended wine distilled from paled (fermented) petals, and 15 samples were analysed for density, refractive index and optical rotation.
Abstract: Two kinds of rose (Rosa damascena Miller) oil were used: decanted oil distilled from the fresh petals (DOFP) and blended oil distilled from the paled (fermented) petals (BOPP). Eight samples from Gulbirlik cooperative factories (three DOFP, four BOPP) and a private factor (one BOPP) were of 1990 produce, and seven samples from Gulbirlik (two DOFP, four BOPP) and a private factory (one BOPP) were of 1991 produce. In all, 15 samples were analysed for density, refractive index and optical rotation, and their chemical composition by GC and GC-MS. The samples showed some differences in the optical rotation. DOFP had high density and refractive index values. In general, 68 components were identified, representing c 88–98% of the oils: 27 hydrocarbons, 19 alcohols, eight aldehydes, six oxides and ethers, five esters, two ketones and one phenol. Citronellol (24.47–42.97%), nonadecane (6.44–18.95%), geraniol (2.11–18.04%), ethanol (0.00–13.43%), heneicosane (2.28–8.90%), nerol (0.75–7.57%) and 1-nonadecene (1.80–5.40%) were the major components as overall ranges of the samples. Percentages of certain components differed between the factories, years and oil types (DOFP and BOPP). The results indicated that an extensive and detailed research from harvesting to end-product storage was needed for the establishment of the material and technology requirements to obtain a Turkish rose oil with standard composition and high quality.
