Abstract:
The fragrance of Jasminum sambac, ‘Gundumalli’, is specific to this species and it is characterised by various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The construction of a biosynthetic pathway of these specific VOCs helps to comprehend the role of various precursors, enzymes and energy transfer. The article showcases the formation of the important VOCs in the flowers of J. sambac based on biosynthetic principles of metabolite production and the KEGG pathway database.
