Two trace odorants of damask rose flowers
In the flower scent of damask rose (Rosa damascena), aroma extract dilution analysis detected two ultratrace odour-active compounds with high flavour dilution factors, rotundone with a woody note and 4-(4-methylpent-3-en-1-yl)-2(5H)-furanone with a citrus note; adding both to a reconstituted rose aroma gave it blooming and natural characteristics.
One rose species, with the furanone identified from a commercial rose absolute; it concerns two trace compounds, not the whole set of rose odorants.
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).
