Chemical Information
FooDB Name(+)-pulegone
DescriptionPulegone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. It is formally classified as a cyclic ketone although it is biochemically a monoterpenoid as it is synthesized via isoprene units. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes is known to occur mainly through the methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in plant cell plastids (PMID: 7640522). Geranyl diphosphate (GPP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of cyclic monoterpenes. GPP undergoes several cyclization reactions to yield a diverse number of cyclic arrangements. Pulegone is a hydrophobic, neutral compound that is insoluble in water. It exists as a clear, colorless oil. There are two isomers of Pulegone (the R and the S isomer), with the R isomer being more common. It is used industrially as a food additive and a perfuming agent. Pulegone has a fresh, minty or peppermint odor and a minty, fruity or green taste. It is found naturally in the essential oils of a variety of plants such as Nepeta cataria (catnip), Hedeoma pulegioides (pennyroyal), and Mentha species. It is also found in a number of plant foods and spices such as blackberryies, black currants, bell peppers, cornmint, rosemary, black tea, thyme, orange mint, peppermint, and spearmint, which makes it a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
