PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Geranyl acetone is a monoterpene ketone in which an (E)-geranyl group is bonded to one of the alpha-methyls of acetone. It is a component of essential oils from various plants including Nelumbo nucifera. It has a role as a flavouring agent, a fragrance, a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. It contains a geranyl group.
