General description

Safranal is the characteristic volatile aroma compound of saffron (Crocus Sativus L.).

Application


  • Proteomic and molecular analyses to understand the promotive effect of safranal on soybean growth under salt stress.: This study investigates the role of safranal in enhancing soybean growth under saline conditions through a proteomic and molecular lens, potentially offering insights into stress resistance mechanisms in crops (Kausar et al., 2024).

  • Investigation of the effect of safranal and crocin pre-treatment on hepatic injury induced by infrarenal aortic occlusion.: The study evaluates the protective effects of safranal and crocin on liver injury in an experimental model, highlighting their potential therapeutic benefits (Ozkececi et al., 2016).
