(-)-beta-Pinene
(-)-beta-pinene is the (1S,5S)-enantiomer of beta-pinene. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-beta-pinene. (-)-beta-Pinene is a natural product found in Curcuma amada, Molopospermum peloponnesiacum, and other organisms with data available. Flavouring ingredient. (-)-beta-Pinene is found in many foods, some of which are almond, hyssop, sweet bay, and common sage. (-)-beta-Pinene is found in almond. (-)-beta-Pinene is a flavouring ingredient. The (1S,5S)-enantiomer of beta-pinene. β-Pinene ((-)-β-Pinene), a major component of turpentine, inhibit infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) with an IC50 of 1.32 mM. β-Pinene presents antimicrobial activity[1][2]. β-Pinene ((-)-β-Pinene), a major component of turpentine, inhibit infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) with an IC50 of 1.32 mM. β-Pinene presents antimicrobial activity[1][2].
gamma-Terpinene
Gamma-terpinene is one of three isomeric monoterpenes differing in the positions of their two double bonds (alpha- and beta-terpinene being the others). In gamma-terpinene the double bonds are at the 1- and 4-positions of the p-menthane skeleton. It has a role as an antioxidant, a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a monoterpene and a cyclohexadiene. gamma-Terpinene is a natural product found in Teucrium montanum, Xylopia aromatica, and other organisms with data available. The terpinenes are three isomeric hydrocarbons that are classified as terpenes. Gamma-terpinene is one these three isomeric hydrocarbons. It is natural and has been isolated from a variety of plant sources (Wikipedia). It is a major component of essential oils made from Citrus Fruits and has strong antioxidant activity. It has a lemon odor and widely used in food, flavours, soaps, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, tabacco, confectionery and perfume industries (http://www.gyanflavoursexport.com). See also: Lemon oil, cold pressed (part of); Coriander Oil (part of); Mandarin oil (part of). Gamma-terpinene is one of four isomeric monoterpenes (the other three being alpha terpinene, beta terpinene and delta terpinene). It is a naturally occurring terpinene and has been isolated from a variety of plant sources. It has the highest boiling point of the four known terpinene isomers. It is a major component of essential oils made from citrus fruits and has a strong antioxidant activity. It has a lemon-like or lime-like odor and is widely used in food, flavours, soaps, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, tabacco, confectionery and perfume industries (http://www.gyanflavoursexport.com). The other isomers of gamma-terpinene, such as alpha-terpinene and delta-terpinene, have been isolated from cardamom and marjoram oils while beta terpinene appears to have no natural source. One of three isomeric monoterpenes differing in the positions of their two double bonds (alpha- and beta-terpinene being the others). In gamma-terpinene the double bonds are at the 1- and 4-positions of the p-menthane skeleton. Constituent of many essential oils e.g. Citrus, Eucalyptus, Mentha, Pinus subspecies Ajowan seed oil (Carum copticum) is a major source γ-Terpinene, a monoterpene, is an orally active antioxidant compound which can scavenge radicals directly. γ-Terpinene has potent antinociception activity[1]. γ-Terpinene, a monoterpene, is an orally active antioxidant compound which can scavenge radicals directly. γ-Terpinene has potent antinociception activity[1].
Cuminaldehyde
Cuminaldehyde is the biologically active constituent of Cuminum cyminum seed oil. C. cyminum seed-derived materials have an inhibitory effect in vitro against rat lens aldose reductase and alpha-glucosidase. This inhibitory action cuminaldehyde suggest a potential utility as an antidiabetic therapeutic. (PMID:15796577). Cuminaldehyde is a volatile compound representative of cumin aroma present in trace amounts in the blood and milk of ewes fed with cumin seed. (PMID:8738023). The terpenoid cuminaldehyde, undergoes reduction biotransformation in mammals, but not oxidation. (PMID:2815827). Cuminaldehyde is a member of the class of benzaldehydes that is benzaldehyde substituted by an isopropyl group at position 4. It is a component of essential oils from Cumin and exhibits insecticidal activities. It has a role as an insecticide, a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. It derives from a hydride of a cumene. 4-Isopropylbenzaldehyde is a natural product found in Xylopia aromatica, Xylopia sericea, and other organisms with data available. See also: Paeonia lactiflora root (part of). A member of the class of benzaldehydes that is benzaldehyde substituted by an isopropyl group at position 4. It is a component of essential oils from Cumin and exhibits insecticidal activities. Found in many essential oils, including eucalyptus, cumin and cassiaand is also present in grilled or roast beef and cognac. Flavouring agent Cuminaldehyde. CAS Common Chemistry.
