Characterization of aroma compounds of Daffodil (Narcissus tazetta L.) ecotypes from Turkey

Abstract

Daffodil (Narcissus tazetta L.) is used for indoor and outdoor ornamental plants as well as a cut flower. It is widely preferred in the perfume and cosmetic sector due to its aromatic characteristics. It is believed that Prophet Noah sowed Daffodil seeds in Şırnak/Cizre regions and it spread out to the entire world after Noah flood. It is asserted that the Daffodil grown-up Cizre region has a more severe smell than the others. In this study, Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was used for the analysis of volatile compounds of flower samples. A total of 26 compounds of natural Daffodil growing up in Şırnak/Cizre region were identified followed by 21 compounds from Izmir and 16 compounds from Siirt locations. The main aroma compounds found to be β-ocimene and benzyl acetate with the rates next to each other.
