Nootkatone Powder

Nootkatone is a bicyclic sesquiterpene ketone naturally found in grapefruit peels, tailored for aroma formulation and natural product bioactivity exploration. Its unique fused-ring terpene skeleton is widely used to prepare oil-phase blends for sensory aroma assessment. Researchers leverage this raw powder to study citrus aroma formulation, develop in-vitro bioactivity models for pest deterrence, assess terpene oxidation stability, and test cosmetic fragrance intermediate feasibility.
Stored under cool, dry, light-shielded sealed lab conditions, this high-purity crystalline powder maintains stable fragrance characteristics after dissolution in oil carriers. It preserves uniform chemical properties in oil-based test matrices, offering reliable reference samples for sensory evaluation and terpene oxidative degradation studies. It fits well for cosmetic fragrance pre-formulation and natural active ingredient discovery projects.

◆ Oil-phase Citrus Aroma Formulation Research
Functions as aroma additive in lipid blending systems to evaluate grapefruit scent release during flavor and cosmetic fragrance development trials.

◆ Terpene Oxidation & Volatility Stability Testing
Acts as reference substance to monitor oxidative degradation and volatile loss under varied temperature and oxygen exposure in oil-based reaction environments.

◆ Natural Sesquiterpene Backbone for Derivative Research
Delivers bicyclic terpene molecular scaffold for natural product chemistry labs, supporting terpene derivative synthesis and structure–bioactivity investigation.

◆ Solubility Compatibility in Lipid Carrier Systems
Readily dissolves in ethanol and plant triglycerides; can be mixed with cosmetic oil bases to create multi-component aroma working blends.
