Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Damascenones are a series of closely related chemical compounds that are components of a variety of essential oils. The damascenones belong to a family of chemicals known as rose ketones, which also includes damascones and ionones. beta-Damascenone is a major contributor to the aroma of roses, despite its very low concentration, and is an important fragrance chemical used in perfumery.[1]
The damascenones are derived from the degradation of carotenoids. [2]
