Usage

Description

GENET, also known as Spartium junceum L., is a wild or cultivated shrub that grows between 2 to 5 meters tall. It is native to central and southern Europe and around the Mediterranean basin, thriving in rocky coasts, fields, woods, and arid mountain areas. The plant features grayish stems, flexible branches, alternate leaves, and gold-yellow flowers that bloom in May. The flowers are the part used for various purposes and have a rose and honey-like, persistent odor with a slight herbaceous note. The derivatives of GENET include concrete, absolute, tincture, and extract, which are obtained through different extraction methods and are characterized by their sweet, honey-like, intense odor.

Uses

Used in Flavor and Fragrance Industry:
GENET is used as a flavoring agent for its sweet, hay, warm, and herbal tea-like taste characteristics at 30 ppm. Its unique rose and honey-like aroma with a slight herbaceous note makes it a valuable ingredient in creating various fragrances.
Used in Perfumery:
GENET is used as a fixative in perfumery due to its deep herbaceous coumarinic background and great tenacity, which helps to prolong the scent of perfumes and colognes.
Used in Aromatherapy:
The sweet, honey-like, and herbaceous aroma of GENET makes it suitable for use in aromatherapy, where its pleasant scent can have a calming and soothing effect on the mind and body.
Used in Natural Product Formulation:
GENET derivatives, such as concrete, absolute, tincture, and extract, can be used in the formulation of natural products like cosmetics, soaps, and candles, adding a unique and pleasant scent to these products.

Preparation

By alcoholic extraction of the concrete (Fenaroli′s Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, 1975).

Essential oil composition

In addition to triterpene and spartitrioside (the constituents of the flowers), five flavonoid glycosides bearing a catechol structure in ring B were isolated from the butanol extract, and their structures were elucidated as isoquercitrin (quercetin 3-beta-glucoside), luteolin 4?-beta-glucoside, quercetin 3, 4?-diglucoside, azaleatin 3-beta-glucoside (quercetin 5-methylether 3-beta-glucoside) and quercetin 4?-beta-glucoside.
