Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameBeta-Ionone
DescriptionBeta-ionone, also known as (e)-b-ionone or trans-beta-ionone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Beta-ionone is a neutral compound. Beta-ionone has a dry, floral, and flower taste with a cedar wood-like scent. It is a naturally occurring organic compound found in a variety of essential oils, including rose oil, flowers from Boronia megastigma (brown boronia; doi: 10.21273/hortsci.30.4.876d) and coml oil and found in cannabis plants (PMID:6991645 ). Beta-ionone is found in highest concentrations in corns, tea, and carrots and in lower concentrations in hyssops, peppermints, and safflowers. Beta-ionone has also been detected in common grapes, sour cherries, common wheats, garden tomato, and wakames making beta-ionone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Beta-ionone is used as to make Vitamins A, E and K1. It is used as a fragrance in perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and household cleaners and detergents. Beta-ionone is used as a food flavoring in beverages, ice cream, baked goods and candies ( Ref:DOI ).

Enzymes

General function:
Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism
Specific function:
Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
