Overview of L-Carvone

 

L-Carvone is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a refreshing spearmint oil scent. It is a naturally occurring monoterpene ketone found in essential oils such as dill, caraway, and spearmint. L-Carvone is a popular ingredient in the flavour, fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries because it smells and tastes good and cools the air. L-Carvone is the levorotatory isomer of carvone, which means it smells like mint. This is different from D-Carvone, which smells like caraway or spice. It is a key ingredient in oral care, food, and perfume because it is derived from nature, is safe, and offers a wide range of scents.
