C13-Apocarotenoids: More than Flavor Compounds?
, 2013 Carotenoid-derived volatiles are among the most potent flavor components, which essentially contribute to the flavor of fruits, vegetables and processed foods. These compounds are also released by diverse algae taxa and influence aquatic odors.

Use of predictive tools for the analysis of bioactive compounds in Crocus sativus L. flowers
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Crocus sativus L. (saffron) flowers have high bioactive potential because of their content of crocins, safranal and phenolic compounds. The development of predictive models based on near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and partial least squares regression to estimate the antioxidant capacity of saffron flower, evaluated using oxygen ...
