Eryngium Foetidum L. Coriandrum Sativum and Persicaria Odorata L.: A Review

Abstract

In this article, we present a review work on volatile compounds of three different aromatic plants, known in a group called as cilantro mimics, with cilantro flavors in which C10 and C12 aldehydes and alcohols have been found as the potent odor, together with the analytical techniques used to identify and/or quantify them. The work is distributed according to the different types of plant in this group (Eryngium foetidum L, corianderum satvuim and persicaria odorata) discussing the application, specification and analytical techniques employed for volatile compound determination. Emphasize is placed on major odorant compounds in mentioned plants.
