β-Caryophyllene and longifolene are
sesquiterpenes with characteristic aroma properties, which are primary
constituents of essential oils and important ingredients commonly used in food,
perfumery, cosmetics, detergents and pharmaceuticals, which create a worldwide
market. β-Caryophyllene and longifolene were converted through microbial
biotransformation by using Wolfiporia extensa
to a mixture of products over seven days at 25 oC to be evaluated as potential aroma and
antimicrobial agents. The characterization
of transformation products was carried out by comparison of their GC-MS spectra
and retention indices with that of published data (Wiley, NIST and ADAMS
databases). As a result, microbial transformation reactions produced various volatile compounds mainly consisting of
ketones, aldehydes and alcohol-bearing derivatives of β-caryophyllene
and longifolene.
