(+)-Rotundifolone
(+)-rotundifolone, also known as lippione, is a member of the class of compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms (+)-rotundifolone is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (+)-rotundifolone can be found in spearmint, which makes (+)-rotundifolone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
3-Methyl-2(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)furan
3-methyl-2(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)furan is a member of the class of compounds known as heteroaromatic compounds. Heteroaromatic compounds are compounds containing an aromatic ring where a carbon atom is linked to an hetero atom. 3-methyl-2(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)furan is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-methyl-2(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)furan is a caramel, green, and minty tasting compound found in ginger, which makes 3-methyl-2(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)furan a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
caryophyllene
A beta-caryophyllene in which the stereocentre adjacent to the exocyclic double bond has S configuration while the remaining stereocentre has R configuration. It is the most commonly occurring form of beta-caryophyllene, occurring in many essential oils, particularly oil of cloves.

1-OCTEN-3-OL
Oct-1-en-3-ol, a fatty acid fragrant, is a self-stimulating oxylipin messenger. Oct-1-en-3-ol serves as a signaling molecule in plant cellular responses, plant-herbivore interactions, and plant-plant interactions. Oct-1-en-3-ol causes dopamine neuron degeneration through disruption of dopamine handling[1][2]. Oct-1-en-3-ol, a fatty acid fragrant, is a self-stimulating oxylipin messenger.

Humulene
α-Humulene is a main constituent of Tanacetum vulgare L. (Asteraceae) essential oil with anti-inflammation (IC50=15±2 μg/mL). α-Humulene inhibits COX-2 and iNOS expression[1]. α-Humulene is a main constituent of Tanacetum vulgare L.

Oct-1-en-3-ol
An alkenyl alcohol with a structure based on a C8 unbranched chain with the hydroxy group at C-2 and unsaturation at C-1-C-2. It is a major volatile compound present in many mushrooms and fungi.
