Chemical Information
FooDB Namebeta-Ionone
DescriptionBeta-ionone, also known as (e)-b-ionone or trans-beta-ionone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Beta-ionone is a neutral compound. Beta-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. Beta-ionone is found in highest concentrations in corns, tea, and carrots and in lower concentrations in hyssops, peppermints, and safflowers. Beta-ionone has also been detected in common grapes, sour cherries, common wheats, garden tomato, and wakames making beta-ionone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Beta-ionone is used as to make Vitamins A, E and K1. It is used as a fragrance in perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and household cleaners and detergents. Beta-ionone is used as a food flavoring in beverages, ice-cream, baked goods and candies ( https://doi.org/10.1533/9780857095725.1.231).
