Lemongrass is a popular Asian herb having a lemon-like flavor. Very recently, potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity has been found in lemongrass in addition to various biological activities reported in the literature. The aim of the present study is to identify the active compounds in the lemongrass. An assay-guided purification revealed that one of the active substances was geranic acid. Geranic acid has two stereoisomers, which are responsible for the trans and cis geometry on the conjugated double bond. Both isomers are present in the active ethyl acetate-soluble extract of the lemongrass, and their IC 50 values were calculated to be 0.14 and 2.3 mM, respectively. The structure requirement of geranic acid for the potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity was investigated using geranic acid-related compounds.

Paragraph 0035-0050, (2019/02/26)
The invention provides a preparation method of farnesal. The preparation method of farnesal comprises the step of carrying out Meyer-Schuster rearrangement reaction on dehydronerolidol under the effect of a catalyst to obtain the farnesal. In isomerous preparation of the farnesal from the dehydronerolidol by catalysis, the catalysis efficiency is high, reaction conditions are gentle, the preparedfarnesal is high in conversion ratio and selectivity, the preparation method is green and pollution-free, the preparation cost is low, and industrialized production can be realized. Experiments show that the yield of the farnesal prepared by the provided method is 93% or above, and the purity is 95% or above.
