The enantiomeric composition of linalool and linalool oxide in the flowers of kiwifruit (Actinidia) species.

Abstract excerpt

A survey of linalool enantiomers in kiwifruit (Actinidia) flowers was conducted to determine their potential as sources of these valuable floral fragrances, and revealed a wide range of enantiomeric ratios. While flowers of A. polygama and A. chrysantha contained almost exclusively one enantiomer, most species contained significant amounts of both (R) and (S) isomers. In some species enantiomeric ratios of floral...
