  • Applications

    Isoartemisia ketone (CAS 546-49-6) is a monoterpene ketone found in Artemisia essential oils, used mainly in fragrance and flavor applications for its fresh, herbal, green, slightly camphoraceous character that sharpens blends, cleans heavy accords, and bridges top-to-heart notes in fine fragrance, personal care, and household products; in flavors it imparts a light herbal–mint nuance to beverages, confectionery, and some savory profiles at trace levels to avoid bitterness; in R&D and quality control it serves as a reference standard/marker for GC/MS profiling of essential oils, batch consistency monitoring, and studies of monoterpene biotransformation; it is also employed as a building block/intermediate to synthesize odorants and specialized organic compounds; use should comply with applicable flavor/fragrance safety regulations, include sensitization/allergen risk assessment, and rely on proper storage (sealed, protected from light/oxygen) to minimize oxidation.
