Odor differences between enantiomeric isomers
Abstract
The enantiomers of R- and S-carvone, R- and S-carvotanacetone, R- and S-trans-dihydrocarvone, and R- and S-cis-dihydrocarvone were synthesized from R- and S-carvone, and all were subjected to gas-liquid chromatographic purification. Sensory analysis of the highly purified compounds revealed odor differences between enantiomeric pairs.
