“Crocin-1 (alpha-crocin)”  

Crocin-1

    In organic chemistry, Crocin-1, aka alpha-crocin, molecular formula C₄₄H₆₄O₂₄ with a net charge of 0, is a crocetin diester, a disaccharide derivative, and a diterpenoid, in which both carboxy groups have been converted to their gentiobiosyl esters.
    In phytochemistry, Crocin-1 is one of the water-soluble yellow-red pigments of saffron, used as a spice for food flavoring and food coloring.

“Safranal”  

    In organic chemistry, Safranal, molecular formula C₁₀H₁₄O with a net charge of 0, is a monoterpenoid, formally derived from beta-cyclocitral (2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde) by dehydrogenation.
    In phytochemistry, Safranal is a monoterpene aldehyde, and major constituent of the essential oil of saffron, responsible for the saffron odor and aroma. Safranal may be formed in saffron by hydrolysis from picrocrocin.
