Chemical Information
FooDB Namealpha-Ionone
DescriptionAlpha-ionone, also known as (E)-α-ionone or alpha-cyclocitrylideneacetone, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Alpha-ionone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Alpha-ionone is a sweet, floral, and fruity tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as tea, wild carrot, wild celery, and ginkgo nuts, which makes alpha-ionone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Alpha-ionone can be found primarily in saliva. Alpha-ionone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Alpha-ionone is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.
