Dendranthema essential oils are o f great importance both for the
Perfumery and the Cosmetic industry. Their bactericide effect results in the
possibility to produce some cosmetics and health improving perfumery
remedies. Planned producing virus-free Dendranthema plant material for
commercial flower growing have been carried out at our enterprise for several
years. There is an
in vitro
collection of some new Dendranthema cultivars.
To realize the scientific project of plant tissue cultivation fo r perfume
substances producing and enriching the assortiment of natural sweet-scented
ones and natural cosmetic raw material, several the most prospective
Dendranthema cultivars were estimated fortheir processing suitability. Such
cultivars as Westland, Promenade, Penny Lane, Daymark and Vitchizna
have been analyzed. Several primary experiments were carried out to study
plant biomass extractive ability. It was revealed the percentage of the extract
production, relating to dry matter, varied in different Dendranthema cultivars
from 0.75(Westland) to 2.88% (Penny Lane).The cultivar Promenade turned
out to be the most prospective one, it was marked as 4,5 b. and characrerized
by specific herbaceous sweet-scent with the addition of resinous one.
Thus, the possibility to produce some sweet-scented substunces from
different Dendranthema cultivars has been found out. In was proved all
investigated D.cultivars could be used as a raw material for essential oils
producing.
Our enterprise has got a possibility to produce commercial lots of this
raw material fo rthe Perfumery and the Cosmetic industry both in the green
house and in the field.
