CAS: 8013-90-9
Ionone 100% (CAS: 8013-90-9) refers to a mixture of isomeric ketones, primarily alpha-, beta-, and sometimes gamma-ionone. These compounds are terpenoid derivatives and are naturally found in various essential oils, particularly violet flowers and roses. Synthetically, they are often derived from citral. They are typically colorless to pale yellow liquids known for their characteristic floral (violet-like), woody, and fruity aromas, making them highly valued in the fragrance and flavor industries.
Primarily used as a fragrance ingredient, flavor ingredient, and aroma chemical. It is a key component in perfumery and a common additive in the food and beverage industry.
Found in a wide range of consumer products including perfumes, colognes, soaps, detergents, air fresheners, and other cosmetic formulations to impart floral or woody notes. In the food industry, it is used as a flavoring agent in confectionery, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), baked goods, dairy products, and savory items to enhance fruity, raspberry, or floral characteristics.
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies for use as a flavoring substance when used appropriately. However, like many fragrance compounds, it can be a skin sensitizer or irritant in susceptible individuals, especially at high concentrations. Direct contact with eyes should be avoided. It is recommended to handle with appropriate personal protective equipment in industrial settings. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from strong oxidizing agents and direct sunlight, to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
