Chemical Information
FooDB NameAscaridole
DescriptionSaid to be the major constituent of oil of Peumus boldus (boldo) Ascaridole is a natural organic compound classified as a bicyclic monoterpene that has an unusual bridging peroxide functional group. It is the primary constituent of the oil of Mexican Tea (Dysphania ambrosioides, formerly Chenopodium ambrosioides).; It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in most organic solvents. Like other low molecular weight organic peroxides, it is unstable and prone to explosion when heated or treated with organic acids. Ascaridole is found in cardamom, fruits, and lambsquarters.
