  <name>Piperitone oxide</name>
  <description>Piperitone oxide is a member of the class of compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms. Piperitone oxide is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Piperitone oxide can be found in cornmint, orange mint, peppermint, and spearmint, which makes piperitone oxide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. </description>
