  • Applications

    (+)-Isodihydrocarvone (CAS 12705-70-3) is a terpene-derived monoterpenoid ketone used across flavor, fragrance, and synthesis: it provides fresh minty, camphoraceous, slightly woody facets to round, fix, or modulate mint–herbal–citrus accords in fine fragrance, personal care, household cleaners, and air care; functions as a flavor ingredient at appropriate levels to add depth and cooling nuances to mint/herbal profiles in confectionery, chewing gum, and beverages; serves as a chiral building block and synthetic intermediate for terpenoid derivatives, pharma/agro intermediates, and aroma chemicals, and as a reference standard/substrate in chiral GC, NMR, and stereoselective methodology; it is also explored in green chemistry as a bio-based feedstock for value-added routes; typically dosed at low levels with attention to safety, formulation compatibility, and local regulations, and stored cool, dry, tightly closed, protected from strong light.
