Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-Cyclocitral
Descriptionbeta-Cyclocitral, also known as β-cyclocitral, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic oxides. These are organic compounds containing an oxide group. beta-Cyclocitral is a sweet, clean, and damascone tasting compound. beta-Cyclocitral is found, on average, in the highest concentration within orange mints (Mentha aquatica) and safflowers (Carthamus tinctorius). beta-Cyclocitral has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as garden tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), garden tomato (var.), teas (Camellia sinensis), black tea, and cauliflowers (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). This could make beta-cyclocitral a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. beta-Cyclocitral is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on beta-Cyclocitral.
