| "Safranal, the main component of Crocus sativus essential oil, is thought to be the main cause of saffron unique odor... Beside its exclusive color, saffron presents a particular taste which is originates from its picrocrocin content. Safranal (2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-carboxaldehyde) is a cyclical terpenic aldehyde produced from picrocrocin. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picrocrocin|Picrocrocin]], discovered by Kajser (1884), cracks down following acids and alkali conditions, resulting in a molecule of water and an aglycon which in turn, loses a water molecule and finally turns to safranal. Kuhn and Winterstein (1933), who obtained safranal through picrocrocin hydrolyzation for the first time, named this chemical as //Safranal//." \\ | "Safranal, the main component of Crocus sativus essential oil, is thought to be the main cause of saffron unique odor...

| | "A specification for high-quality saffron of > 20% crocins, > 6% picrocrocin and not less than 0.3% of volatiles, calculated as sum of safranal, isophorone and ketoisophorone, was developed... Saffron extracts and crocetin had a clear binding capacity at the PCP bindingside of the NMDA receptor and at the σ1 receptor, while the crocins and picrocrocin were not effective." \\ |

| "Saffron is the dried stigma of Crocus sativus L. and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine mainly for its healing properties... Recent phytochemistry and pharmacological experiments have indicated that crocin and safranal, the major active ingredients of saffron, exert important actions, such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic. Unfortunately, the vast majority of those data derive from in vitro studies, whereas a limited number of in vivo experiments support the aforementioned effects." \\ | "Saffron is the dried stigma of Crocus sativus L. and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine mainly for its healing properties...
