Basic Info
Nootkatone, a terpene derivate with a characteristic molecular structure cyclic, is an epoxide derivative. The chemical composition of Nootkatone contains three elements, namely carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Its unique chemical activity is due to the functional group arrangement in the molecule. This compound was not created artificially, but it is produced naturally during secondary metabolism in plants. It is found commonly in the tissues and fruits of citrus plants.
In terms of physical properties, Nootkatone is usually a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a specific refractive index and relative density. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and difficult to dissolve in water. Its chemical properties are sensitive to certain oxidants, and structural transformation may occur under acidic or alkaline conditions, but it can maintain a relatively stable state in a light-proof and low-temperature environment.
