Notes:
The bicyclic conjugated sesquiterpene ketone, nootkatone, has been found in grapefruit peel oil and in peel-oil-free grapefruit juice. The flavor intensity of grapefruit oil appears to be related to the relative abundance of nootkatone. A combination of gas-liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of this ketone, which was identified by its infrared spectrum and the melting point of its 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative. Traces of nootkatone were found also in bergamot, lemon, lime, orange, and tangerine oils.
