General description

Safranal is the characteristic volatile aroma compound of saffron (Crocus Sativus L.).

Application


  • Proteomic and molecular analyses to understand the promotive effect of safranal on soybean growth under salt stress.: This study investigates the role of safranal in enhancing soybean growth under saline conditions through a proteomic and molecular lens, potentially offering insights into stress resistance mechanisms in crops (Kausar et al., 2024).

  • Investigation of the effect of safranal and crocin pre-treatment on hepatic injury induced by infrarenal aortic occlusion.: The study evaluates the protective effects of safranal and crocin on liver injury in an experimental model, highlighting their potential therapeutic benefits (Ozkececi et al., 2016).

Volatile components of saffron from different regions of Iran were extracted by ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction (USE) and were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Self-modeling curve resolution (SMCR) was proposed for resolving the co-eluted GC-MS peak clusters into pure chromatograms
