NOOTKATONE(Cas 4674-50-4) Usage

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.
