The differences in aroma profiles between traditional and modern types of Huang Jiu (Chinese rice wine) have been evaluated by sensory evaluation, comparative aroma extract dilution analysis (cAEDA), and chemical analysis. Sensory analysis revealed that tradi...

Volatome analysis approach for the taxonomic classification of tree exudate collection using Proton Transfer Reaction Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry

10.1002/ffj.3439

2018-01-18

Abstract Natural resins exude from trees as viscous liquids, which subsequently harden by evaporation and/or oxidation. Their compositions and textures are complex and vary during the solidification processes, producing a typical volatile fragrant fraction. M...

Anxiolytic-like effects of essential oil from Thymus vulgaris was increased during stress

10.1002/ffj.3434

2018-01-15

Abstract There is known to be a close relationship among anxiety, fatigue and stress. Here, we studied the anxiolytic-like effects of essential oil from Thymus vulgaris (EOT), while focusing on the relationship with stress. Male ICR mice inhaled (i.h.) EOT fo...

The effect of inhalation of essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis on scopolamine-induced Alzheimer's type dementia model mice
