Abstract

Abstract:

The rhizomes of Iris pallida Lam. are rich in unique aromatic compounds. After aging treatment，high-value essential oil with violet-like fragrance can be extracted from them. This paper provides a systematic review of the germplasm resources of I. pallida，the techniques for extracting its volatiles，major chemical components（particularly irone），as well as the research progress of these volatiles in fragrance blending，fragrance fixation and antibacterial activity. It also prospects the development future of the I. pallida industry, aiming to provide theoretical references for realizing the efficient utilization of its resources and promoting technological innovation and sustainable development of the entire industrial chain.

Key words: Iris pallida, germplasm resources, aging processing, volatiles, irone
