| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When volatile compounds were vaporized and diffused from a model device in the presence of water, ILIDS (Interferometric Laser Imaging for Droplet Sizing) enabled estimating a size of the particles of volatile compounds associated with water. Visualization of coumarin particles emitted from living flowers was also examined when the flowers of blue Delphinium were fed with o-hydroxy-p-coumaric acid β-D-glucopyranoside. The coumarin emission was confirmed by the sensory test as well as the GC-MS analyses. However the particles of coumarin with water were not visualized based on the ILIDS. These results suggested that the particle size is estimated to be less than those detected in the model experiments.
