ethyl ionone

Found in 1 ingredient across the CompKitchen flavor graph.

Ambiguous name

“ethyl ionone” does not identify one molecule. Both alpha- and beta-ethyl ionone are used commercially and they differ in odour. Neither name resolves in PubChem, so we cannot even enumerate the candidates with confidence — the honest state is 'unresolved', not a guess dressed as a list.

We assign no CAS number, structure or odour threshold to this entry. Guessing one would make the record look more certain than the evidence is.

Look up another compound — search by name, CAS number, PubChem CID, or FEMA #.

Not in FEMA GRAS publications 1-33. Of 3,367 listed flavoring substances, none match this compound name. May still be food-safe under other regulatory routes (FDA 21 CFR 172, EFSA, JECFA) — check femaflavor.org for the authoritative current list.

Measured impact first, then profile share

Every ingredient known to contain ethyl ionone. Ingredients with a measured concentration come first, ranked by odour activity; the rest follow by how large a share of that ingredient's profile this molecule is. The figure beside each is how many different compounds that ingredient has in total — not the concentration of ethyl ionone in it.
