Description
Farnesylacetone is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene ketone found in various essential oils (e.g., tobacco leaves) and marine organisms like Sargassum micracanthum. In the fragrance and flavor industry, it is valued for its sweet, floral odor and is used as a flavoring agent or fixative. Biologically, it has been studied for its role as a metabolite and its ability to inhibit electron transport in mitochondria.
