In fresh leaves of garden sage, aroma extract dilution analysis characterised 39 aroma-active compounds, with (Z)-3-hexenal, 1,8-cineol, borneol and eugenol at the highest flavour dilution factors, and a mixture of 22 key compounds mimicked the overall aroma; on drying at 50 °C, (Z)-3-hexenal, phenylacetaldehyde and 3-(methylthio)propanal were almost totally lost while monoterpenes stayed nearly unchanged, and the laboratory-dried leaves were rated as having the most typical sage aroma, unlike six commercial samples.
Leaves of one Italian garden sage grown in a German greenhouse and dried in the laboratory; commercial dried sage differed again.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
