To identify and characterize glycosidically bound volatile compounds and flavor precursors present in the leaves and floral buds of bay laurel (Laurus nobilis L.).
Extracted glycosidic fractions from leaves and buds using Amberlite XAD-2 resin adsorption followed by methanol elution.
Identified volatile aglycons and intact glycosides via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) under electron ionization and negative chemical ionization modes, following enzymatic hydrolysis or trifluoroacetyl derivatization.
Beta-D-glucopyranosides and primeverosides were the dominant glycoside forms identified in leaves, alongside minor fractions of rutinosides and vicianocides.
Identified prominent aglycon structures including benzyl alcohol, linalool-diols, 2-hydroxy-1,8-cineole derivatives, and nor-carotenoids such as 3-oxo-alpha-ionol and vomifoliol in leaf tissue.
Detected damascenone precursors, specifically 3-hydroxy-beta-damascone and 3-hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-beta-ionol, exclusively in bay laurel buds.
