Common NameCarotol
DescriptionCarotol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Carotol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Carotol is a mild and pleasant tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Carotol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within wild carrots and carrots. Carotol has also been detected, but not quantified in, parsley and root vegetables. This could make carotol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Additionally, studies have shown that carotol may be involved in allelopathic interactions expressing activity as a antifungal, herbicidal and insecticidal agent. This later reaction, regardless of how plausible it may appear to be on paper, is energetically undesired and through the diligent work of M. Soucek and coworkers it was shown that the cyclization from FPP to carotol is the most probable biosynthesis route. Carotol was first isolated by scientists Asahina and Tsukamoto in 1925. ; It has been proposed that there is a direct cyclisation of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) to the carotol (carotane backbone). This type of cyclisation is unconventional for the typical chemistry of sesquiterpenes. The only other proposed mechanism requires a complex ten-membered ring with a methyl migration. This sesquiterpene alcohol is thought to be formed in carrot seeds (Daucus carota L., Umbelliferae) during the vegetation period. Carotol is found in Alpinia latilabris, Eryngium foetidum, Ferula ovina, Ligusticum sinense, Micromeria sinaica and Thymus vulgaris. It is one of the primary components found in carrot seed oil comprising approximately 40% of this essential oil.
