Cis-Jasmone (CAS# 488-10-8) is a naturally occurring organic compound belonging to the cyclopentenone family, which plays a crucial role and is widely utilized across the fragrance, flavor, and agricultural industries. Regarding its physical properties, this product exists as a colorless to pale yellow clear oily liquid. It is highly soluble in alcohol, ether, and propylene glycol but insoluble in water. In nature, Cis-Jasmone is an essential aromatic component extracted from various plants such as jasmine flowers, tea leaves, mint (peppermint and spearmint), bergamot, and other floral sources.
In the fragrance and cosmetics industry, Cis-Jasmone is highly favored for possessing an elegant, warm jasmine aroma, combined with green, herbal, woody, and slight fruity notes. It is an indispensable ingredient in the art of fine perfumery, helping to recreate an authentic scent for white floral compositions like jasmine and tuberose. Furthermore, thanks to its excellent stability across various pH environments, the product is commonly used to scent cosmetics, personal care, and household products such as soaps, shampoos, body lotions, fabric softeners, and scented candles. For the food industry, Cis-Jasmone is recognized as generally safe (FEMA 3196) and is used as a flavoring agent, enhancing the depth and naturalness of teas, beverages, candies, and fruit flavors such as peach, apricot, and strawberry.
Another breakthrough advantage of Cis-Jasmone is its application in agriculture and ecological crop protection. This compound acts as a natural plant defense activator. When applied to crops, Cis-Jasmone serves as a chemical signal stimulating the plant to emit volatile organic compounds that help repel herbivorous pests, typically aphids like the peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae) and grain aphids (Sitobion avenae). Even more remarkably, these signals help attract beneficial natural enemies, such as parasitic wasps (e.g., Diaeretiella rapae, Aphidius ervi) and ladybirds, to eliminate the aphids. This property makes Cis-Jasmone an invaluable solution in the "push-pull" biological control strategy and integrated pest management (IPM).
Regarding safety and environmental impact, Cis-Jasmone is a highly sustainable solution. This compound is readily biodegradable according to OECD standards, does not accumulate long-term, and causes no harm to the natural environment. With very low acute toxicity to mammals, the product is safe for human health. Additionally, Cis-Jasmone fully complies with the strict standards of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), while also being approved by the FDA (USA) and the European Union (EU) for use in cosmetics and food additives.
