Metabolite Identification
Common NameHotrienol
DescriptionHotrienol is a terpenoid, specifically a volatile organic compound (VOC) that plays a significant role in the aroma profiles of various plants and fermented products. Its chemical structure features a bicyclic framework with a hydroxyl group, contributing to its distinctive scent and flavor characteristics. Hotrienol is involved in several biochemical pathways, including the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds in plants, where it is produced alongside other key metabolites like linalool and 2-phenylethanol (PMID:40246700 ). It has been identified as a discriminant for seasonal variations in volatile profiles, indicating its importance in environmental responses (PMID:40805726 ). The production of hotrienol is influenced by specific bacterial communities, such as Chryseobacterium and Agrobacterium, which contribute to its synthesis in various substrates (PMID:38648695 ). Additionally, hotrienol's presence in toasted barrels correlates with a decrease in fruity and floral notes, highlighting its role in the sensory attributes of aged products (PMID:41008151 ). Its concentration in certain plant varieties, such as abyssinica, suggests potential applications in flavoring and fragrance industries due to its aromatic properties (PMID:39479604 ).
