High impact information on DELTA-CADINENE

The cDNA inserts specify a deduced polypeptide of 548 amino acids (Mr = 64,114), and sequence comparison with other plant sesquiterpene cyclases indicates that germacrene C synthase most closely resembles cotton delta-cadinene synthase (50% identity) [1].
Analysis by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry identified mainly terpenoids, among which alpha-copaene, gamma-cadinene, delta-cadinene, alpha-cadinol, spathulenol and caryophyllene oxide were most commonly found [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DELTA-CADINENE

Further bioassays with other components [(E)-beta-caryophyllene, delta-cadinene] of the odour blend of pine were conducted in combination with the volatile blend from egg-free pine as background odour [3].
