Which compounds and their blends are best to reproduce the top-middle note in turmeric fragrances? I am doing some blends and trying to reproduce turmeric like smell for comparative studies with essential oils. How a synthetically equivalent fragrance can be produced?
The major constituents in essential oil of the rhizome of Tumerone are:
1. Ar-tumerone (63.4%)
2. Alpha-tumerone (13.7% ) and
3. Beta-tumerone (12.6%).
This was reported in our studies in Pharmaceutical Biology 46: 279-282. The compounds are derivatives of hept-2-ene-4-one with the first compound being aromatic. The compounds are commercially available and my be easily synthesized. Sudheesh, I suggest you mix these compounds first in the composition of the natural Tumeric rhizome and vary the composition of any of the tumerones to get the desired fragrance. I hope you find this useful. Wishing you the best in your studies. Ajaiyeoba EO
The turmeric contains a mix notes of rose, terpinic, spicy and citrus in addition to the turmerone. And the light aldehydic note should not be excluded to obtain the real natural feel. So I mean, which fragrance compounds may be the best to blend to obtain this note.
