  • Applications

    Davanone D (CAS 20482-11-5) is an odor-active sesquiterpene ketone found in davana essential oil, with key applications in fragrance and flavor: at very low dosage it imparts ripe apricot–plum, sweet wine, honey and herbal facets and functions as a soft fixative to enhance diffusion and longevity in fine fragrances, personal care, scented candles and premium cleaners; in flavors it rounds fruity, caramel/gourmand, baked-goods and alcoholic beverage profiles at ppm levels; in analytics and quality control it serves as a reference/marker for GC–MS qualitative–quantitative assessment of davana oil and Artemisia species, supporting authenticity and adulteration screening; in research it is a chiral sesquiterpene scaffold for synthesis and a lead for preclinical bioactivity screening (antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, insect-repellent); in agriculture and storage, davanone-type compounds are explored as selective repellents/attractants for pest monitoring; from a formulation and handling standpoint it blends well with citrus, lactonic, ambery and woody themes, has a low odor threshold requiring cautious dosing, is lipophilic and soluble in ethanol/organic solvents, and is prone to oxidation/light so should be stored tightly closed, protected from light and metal catalysts, ideally under inert gas; use should comply with applicable safety regulations (e.g., IFRA guidance for fragrances and local food safety standards).
