Abstract
The volatile metabolic products of T. suaveolens grown on aqueous malt extract were examined. Methyl anisate was identified as the major product; anisal-dehyde was also detected, but is present in much smaller amt. These 2 products are probably the chief contributors to the odor of the fungus in culture. A little free anisic acid was also detected; this may arise by atmospheric oxidation of the anisaldehyde.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
