Metabolite Identification
Common Namealpha-Ionone
Descriptionalpha-Ionone, also known as (e)-alpha-ionone or trans-a-ionone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. alpha-Ionone is a potentially toxic compound. Alpha-ionone is a neutral compound. Alpha-ionone has a dry, floral, and flower taste with a cedar wood-like scent. It is a naturally occurring organic compound found in a variety of essential oils, including rose oil, flowers from Boronia megastigma (brown boronia; doi: 10.21273/hortsci.30.4.876d) and coml oil. Alpha-ionone is found in highest concentrations in corns, tea, and carrots and in lower concentrations in hyssops, peppermints, and safflowers.
