The study analyzed the essential oil extracted from Plumeria rubra L. 'Irma Bryan', a cultivar of frangipani that grows in Hawaii. Using GC and GC-MS analysis, the study identified 67 compounds in the essential oil. β-Phenylethyl alcohol, phenylacetaldehyde and methyl cinnamate were found to be major contributors to the floral and spicy scent of the frangipani flower. The essential oil shows potential as an alternative natural fragrance in the perfume industry.

RELATED STUDY

ABSTRACT:
The essential oil of one of the cultivars of Plumeria rubra L. ‘Irma Bryan’ growing
in Hawaii was extracted by simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE). The
essential oil was analysed with GC and GC‐MS, and a total of 67 compounds were
identified. β‐Phenylethyl alcohol, phenylacetaldehyde and methyl cinnamate were
found to make a major contribution to the floral spicy scent of this flower.

ABSTRACT:

For a long time, exotic scents from the islands of the South Pacific have
universally been appreciated. Most frequently, fragrant flowers (e.g., frangipani,
jasmine sambac, tiaré, pua kenikeni) are used locally for ornamental purposes such
as flower garlands (leis). Despite their powerful and delightful fragrance, very few
of these flowers have been commercially employed in this part of the world for
perfume manufacturing. Creative perfumers are nevertheless strongly interested to
better understand these fragrances and to use them, either genuine or artificially
reconstituted. Analytical results on the fragrance of these flowers are reported,
together with some economical considerations.

SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE

 What is Plumeria Acuminta or locally known as Kalachuchi?

Plumeria (/pluːˈmɛriə/) is a genus of


flowering plants in the dogbane family,
Apocynaceae.[1] Most species are deciduous shrubs
or small trees. The species variously are indigenous
to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, and
as far south as Brazil, but are grown as cosmopolitan
ornamentals in warm regions.[2][3] Common names
for plants in the genus vary widely according to
region, variety, and whim, but Frangipani or
variations on that theme are the most common.
Plumeria also is used directly as a common name,
especially in horticultural circles. They are white or
purplish outside and pale yellow within. They are
borne in compound peduncled cymes, usually when
the tree is leafless. The fruit is of two follicles,
cylindrical, pointed at the tip, 15 to 20 centimeters
long, and 1.5 to 2 centimeters in diameter. The seeds
are numerous and winged.
