Abstract

Interactions between volatile compounds and proteins in aqueous solution, were studied using static and dynamic headspace techniques. The decrease of aroma compounds concentration in the headspace determined in static mode indicates a retention by beta-lactoglobulin, 2.4% (w/w), pH 3.4, 25 degrees C, varying from 8 to 60% for most of the compounds tested. However 2-hexanone and isoamyl acetate are not significantly retained by the protein and a salting-out effect is noticed for limonene. On the basis of these preliminary results the intensity of interactions of methyl ketones (C7 to C9), ethyl esters (C6 to C9), limonene and mgamma rcene and beta-lactoglobulin for different pH values (2.0 to 11.0) were estimated by the determination of the infinite dilution activity coefficients (gamma i) by exponential dilution. For a constant pH value, the relative activity coefficient in the presence of beta-lactoglobulin (gamma r) of methyl ketones decreases significantly with the hydrophobicity of the volatiles whereas the relative activity coefficient value reaches a minimum for ethyl octanoate in the ester series. For limonene and myrcene an increase of gamma r is generally noticed whereas a decrease occurs in the presence of sodium caseinate and bovine serum albumin. The variations of relative activity coefficient according to the pH of the medium can be related to structural modifications of the beta-lactoglobulin.

Biogenic volatile organic compounds as potential carbon sources for microbial communities in soil from the rhizosphere of Populus tremula.

Catabolism of a (14)C-labelled volatile monoterpene compound (geraniol) to (14)CO(2) was investigated in soils taken from the rhizosphere at distances up to 200 cm from the trunks of three small Populus tremula trees growing at different sites in Slovenia. Emissions of limonene of up to 18 microg m(-2) h(-1) were detected from the soil surface at each site. Evolution of (14)C-labelled CO(2) was measured as a product of catabolism of (14)C-labelled geraniol introduced into the soil samples. Indigenous soil microorganisms degraded the geraniol rapidly. There was a significant difference in relative lag times and rates of catabolism along the gradient from the tree trunks, with relatively longer lag times and lower rates occurring in soil samples from the farthest point from the tree.

Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of Ips subelongatus to semiochemicals from its hosts, non-hosts, and conspecifics in China.

Volatiles from hosts, non-hosts, interspecifics, and conspecifics of the Asian larch bark beetle, Ips subelongatus Motsch., were analyzed using both gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques, and field trapping bioassays in Inner Mongolia, China. GC-EAD experiments indicated that I. subelongatus antennae (both sexes) strongly responded not only to the major male-produced conspecific components, ipsenol, and ipsdienol, but also to other bark beetle compounds (cis-verbenol and verbenone), host monoterpenes (alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and para-cymene) from Larix sp. logs, and non-host leaf (green leaf volatiles and geranyl acetone) and bark (C8-alcohols and trans-conophthorin) volatiles. Repeatable EAD responses were also found to two compounds from hindgut extracts that are undetectable by GC. One of these minor compounds was identified as amitinol. Field trapping experiments showed that the EAD-active, major male-hindgut component, racemic ipsenol, is the only individual compound that significantly attracted both sexes of I. subelongatus, whereas all other compounds, including previously reported pheromone components of European Ips cembrae, ipsdienol and 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, were unattractive. Ipsdienol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, or their binary blend had no synergistic or antagonistic effects on I. subelongatus attraction when combined with ipsenol, whereas cis-verbenol (a synomone) and verbenone (the antiaggregation semiochemical) inhibited its attraction to the ipsenol-containing attractive blend. A mixture of three EAD-active host monoterpenes, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and para-cymene, was unattractive, but interrupted the pheromone response of I. subelongatus. Geranyl acetone, one of the strong EAD-active non-host volatiles also significantly reduced the number of I. subelongatus captured in traps baited with ipsenol-containing attractive blend. Our results add support to the recent phylogenetic finding that European and Asian larch bark beetles should be regarded as two distinct species: I. cembrae infecting larch in Europe and I. subelongatus infesting larch in Asia.

Geraniol synthases from perilla and their taxonomical significance.

Geraniol synthases were isolated from five pure strains of Perilla citriodora and Perilla frutescens which vary in essential oil type, the main compounds of which were citral, elsholtziaketone, perillaketone, and perillene, respectively. This result supports the putative biosynthetic pathways of these three furylalkenes which are all produced by way of citral. Nucleotide sequences of geraniol synthases from three oil types of P. citriodora were identical, and almost the same as the sequence from P. frutescens, a species with twice the chromosome number of P. citriodora. This identity in sequence between P. citriodora and P. frutescens, together with other previous results, indicates that P. frutescens was formed as an amphidiploid of P. citriodora and an unknown wild species.
