CasNo: 4674-50-4
Molecular Formula: C15H22O
Appearance: colourless crystal
Preparation |
By oxidation of valencene (a sesquiterpene) with tertiary butyl chromate. |
Definition |
ChEBI: A sesquiterpenoid that is 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydronaphthalen-2(3H)-one which is substituted by methyl groups at positions 4 and 4a, and by an isopropenyl group at position 6 (the 4R,4aS,6R stereoisomer). |
Aroma threshold values |
Detection: 170 to 800 ppb |
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: grapefruit, citrus, orange and butter. |
General Description |
(+)-nootkatone, a bicyclic conjugated sesquiterpene ketone with a grapefruit-like flavor, is commonly used in fragrance, food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. It can be synthesized from (+)-valencene via biotransformation. (+)-nootkatone is the active ingredient responsible for the antiplatelet effect of Cyperus rotundus, a well-known oriental traditional medicine. It also shows promising efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. |
