(+)-Carvone

Description:
(+)-Carvone is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid ketone with the chemical formula C10H14O. It is characterized by its distinct minty aroma, which is commonly associated with spearmint and caraway. This compound exists in two enantiomeric forms, with (+)-carvone being the form that is typically found in spearmint oil, while its counterpart, (−)-carvone, is found in caraway seeds. The substance is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, making it volatile and suitable for use in flavoring and fragrance applications. In addition to its sensory properties, (+)-carvone exhibits various biological activities, including antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, which have garnered interest in food preservation and potential therapeutic applications. The compound is also used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a chiral building block in organic chemistry.
