  <name>alpha-Ionene</name>
  <description>Alpha-ionene, also known as α-ionene, is a member of the class of compounds known as tetralins. Tetralins are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a tetralin moiety, which consists of a benzene fused to a cyclohexane. Alpha-ionene can be found in carrot and wild carrot, which makes alpha-ionene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.</description>
