LINALYL AND BORNYL DISACCHARIDE GLYCOSIDES FROM GARDENIA JASMINOIDES FLOWERS

Abstract ( R )-Linalyl 6- O -α- l -arabinopyranosyl-β- d -glucopyranoside and bornyl 6- O -β- d -xylopyranosyl-β- d -glucopyranoside were isolated as aroma precursors of linalool and borneol from flower buds of Gardenia jasminoides , guided by enzymatic hydrolysis followed by GC and GC-MS analyses.
