About Menthone

Menthone is a minty monoterpenoid ketone naturally occurring in mint oils (peppermint, cornmint). Menthone provides a minty-camphoraceous facet and a crisp cooling lift in flavors (where permitted) and fragrance accords. Supply is available as trans-menthone (racemic)-89-80-5 & (−)-menthone (L-menthone)-14073-97-3 depe...

Flavors & Food Bases

Mint Complexes: Essential component for building, fortifying, or standardizing synthetic peppermint oils and other mint flavor bases Flavor Enhancement: Trace amounts to impart a cooling, fresh, and "lift" characteristic, particularly in chewing gum & candies, Oral care & Beverages Fruity Blends: Incorporated at very low concentrations (∼5 to 50 ppm) to add freshness in fruit flavours, notably imitation raspberry

Fragrance & Cosmetics

Aroma Profile: Cooling, minty, and refreshing aroma for various fine and functional fragrance compositions Composition Use: Perfumes, colognes, and air fresheners Olfactive Role: Traces to give freshness and lift to compositions, including notes like geranium and lavender. Product Categories: Soaps, detergents (good stability in most pH ranges), and toiletry applications

Chemical Synthesis & Industrial Use

Intermediate: Synthesis of agrochemicals and dyestuffs Reduction to Menthol: Precursor that can be converted to corresponding menthols (e.g., L-Menthone is hydrogenated to yield a mixture of (+)-neomenthol and (−)-menthol) R&d lab: Biological activities for antimicrobial research like antibacterial and antifungal properties, including activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Polycyclic Synthetic Musks

Description : Our Ambrettolide is a high-purity, 17-membered macrocyclic lactone that captures the elegant, diffusive essence of natural ambrette seed oil. Known for its exceptional "tenacity" (lasting up to a month on a blotter), (IFRA 51st Amendment Ambrettolide Status updated) acts as a powerful fixative that harmonizes floral and fruity notes while providing a sensual, "white flower" musky undertone. Unlike petroleum-based musks, our 2026 grade is 100% renewable carbon-based and readily biodegradable, making it the preferred choice for premium, environmentally conscious fine fragrances and personal care formulations for Buy Isoambrettolide CAS 28645-51-4 Bulk. We are an established Macrocyclic Musk Ambrettolide Supplier globally providing comprehensive analytical (HPLC/NMR/MS) and supporting quality assurance documentation (COA/TDS/SDS) across all grades, detailed impurity mapping; and region-specific regulatory support. We ensure reliable lead times from R&D quantities through commercial-scale manufacturing, enabling partners to meet diverse global and regional requirements.
