โฆ Synopsis
On administration of aflatoxin B~ to whole parsley (Petroselinum crispum) plants, a derivative was formed, which was shown to be aflatoxicol by its chromatographic properties and mass spectrometry. Optimum conditions for the production of the derivative was on the second day after administration of the toxin to the plants, which were 90 days old after germination. Cell-free preparations of parsley were found not to produce aflatoxicol A from added aflatoxin B ~ ; instead they formed two new derivatives, which from chromatographic properties, were shown to be more polar than either aflatoxin B 1 or aflatoxicol A.

On the basis of dilution experiments, 17 odorants of two parsley cultivars were selected for quantiยฎcation and their odour activity values (OAVs, ratio of concentration to odour threshold) were calculated. The odorants showing higher OAVs with regard to the dierent odour notes in the odour proยฎle of
