General description

Piperitone is a monocyclic monoterpenoid, which occurs in eucalyptus oil. It is a good source of menthone and thymol.

Application


  • Biocontrol Activity of Essential Oils: Piperitone is studied for its role in the chemical composition and biocontrol efficacy of essential oils against soil-borne fungal pathogens. Its inclusion enhances the antifungal properties of essential oil blends, contributing significantly to sustainable agricultural practices (Akdeniz and Kesimci, 2024).

  • Antimicrobial Activity of Mentha suaveolens: Research includes analyzing the quality and chemical composition of Mentha suaveolens essential oil, in which piperitone is a major component. This study elucidates its antimicrobial potential, indicating its broad applications in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries (Afrokh et al., 2024).

  • Attraction Influence by Fungal Symbionts: Piperitone′s role is examined in the context of how volatiles from nutritional fungal symbionts influence the attraction behaviors of specific beetle species to ethanol-baited traps. This research provides insights into ecological interactions and pest management strategies (Tobin et al., 2024).

  • Aging Aroma Compounds in Baijiu: Piperitone is characterized within key aging aroma compounds in aged Jiangxiangxing Baijiu. The study highlights factors influencing its formation during storage, important for improving product quality in the beverage industry (Wang et al., 2024).

  • Essential Oil Yield and Composition: Research on Clinopodium nepeta subsp. spruneri investigates how harvest season and cultivation methods affect the yield and composition of essential oil, with piperitone as a focus. This provides valuable information for optimizing cultivation practices to maximize therapeutic and commercial outputs (Vlachou et al., 2023).
