| Common Name | (R)-Piperitone |
|---|
| Description | (R)-Piperitone, also known as alpha-piperitone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. Thus, (R)-piperitone is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (R)-Piperitone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (R)-Piperitone is a minty and peppermint tasting compound. Outside of the human body, (R)-Piperitone is found, on average, in the highest concentration within cornmints (R)-Piperitone has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices and mentha (mint). This could make (R)-piperitone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. (R)-Piperitone is found in Artemisia deserti, Artemisia gmelinii, Artemisia herba-alba, Artemisia judaica, Artemisia koidzumii, Chrysactinia mexicana, Eucalyptus dives, Eucalyptus mitchelliana, Mentha piperita, Piper aduncum and Tyrophagus similis. The (6S)-enantiomer of piperitone. |
