Safranal is a neutral compound. Safranal is a component of saffron (PMID: 28705037), the spice made from drying the stigmas and styles of crocus flowers (Crocus sativus). Safranal, the constituent primarily responsible for the aroma of saffron, has a sweet, fresh, and herbal taste and is a flavouring ingredient. Safranal has been detected in cauliflowers, cumin seeds, elderberry, figs, lemon, rooibos, saffrons, wolfberry, and tea leaf making safranal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Safranal is an effective anticonvulsant (PMID: 29609687) shown to act as an agonist at the¬†gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)A-benzodiazepine receptor complex (PMID: 16707256). Safranal also exhibits high antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity (PMID: 16317646), along with cytotoxicity towards cancer cells in vitro (PMID: 8620447). It has also been shown to have antidepressant properties (PMID: 15341662).(2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dienyl)methanal1-Formyl-2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene1,1,3-Trimethyl-2-formylcyclohexa-2,4-diene1,3-Cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde, 2,6,6-trimethyl-2,3-Dihydro-2,2,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadienal2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene-1-carbaldehyde2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde2,6,6-Trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadienecarboxaldehyde, 9CI2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dienyl methanalDehydro-b-cyclocitralDehydro-beta-cyclocitraldehydro-β-cyclocitralFEMA 3389C10H14O150.2176150.10446507116-26-7CC1=C(C=O)C(C)(C)CC=C1InChI=1S/C10H14O/c1-8-5-4-6-10(2,3)9(8)7-11/h4-5,7H,6H2,1-3H3SGAWOGXMMPSZPB-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic oxides.
