In vitro study | Vanillylacetone is similar in chemical structure to other fragrance chemicals such as vanillin and eugenol. It is used as a flavoring additive in sesame oils and fragrances to introduce a spice flavor. Ginger does not contain vanillylacetone; Ginger is converted to gingerol by cooking, which is the current example of conversion to vanillylacetone by an aldol condensation reaction. Vanillylacetone may be the active ingredient of ginger to exert antidiarrheal effect. |

food flavor | ginger ketone, also known as ginger ketone and vanillyl acetone, is a kind of food flavor that can be prepared in an appropriate amount according to the production requirements according to the provisions of China's "Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2760-1996). Its chemical name is 4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-butanone. Light yellow or light amber crystals (acetone, petroleum ether or ether-petroleum ether), left at room temperature for a long time to form a viscous liquid. There is a strong ginger-like spicy smell and ginger-like spicy taste, with sweet, spicy, rich and heavy flower fragrance, lasting fragrance. Relative density 1.138~1.139(25 ℃), melting point 40~41 ℃, boiling point 290 ℃(102 ℃), refractive index 1.544~1.545. It can be dissolved in 50% ethanol in a ratio of 1:1, slightly soluble in water and petroleum ether, and soluble in dilute alkali. Slowly volatilized in the steam. When heated, the silver nitrate ammonia solution can be reduced; the alcohol solution with ferric chloride becomes green. Separated from the essential oil of ginger (Zingiber officinale), ginger ketone is the main component of ginger oil. It is prepared by hydrogenation of vanillin and acetone after condensation reaction. Used as a sweetener and edible flavor for rich flavor. It can produce "leather" and "tobacco" flavor in fragrant products. It is not easy to change color. Gingerone can be used in the formula of daily chemical essence, mainly as a sweetener for rich flavor, with a small amount and a small application range. IFRA has no restrictions. ginger ketone is recognized as GRAS by FEMA, FEMA number 3124, and is approved by FDA for consumption. it is listed by the European Council in the list of artificial spices that can be used in food and are harmless to human health at the dosage level of 15 mg/kg. Gingerone can be used in edible flavors and flavored product formulations. FEMA stipulates that the maximum reference dosage of ginger ketone is soft drink, 6.9 mg/kg; Ice cream, ice food, 7.8 mg/kg; Candy, 11 mg/kg; Baked food, 11 mg/kg; Chewing gum, 15 mg/kg. |

usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): soft drink 6.9; Cold drink 7.8; Candy, baked goods, 11.0; Gum sugar 15.0:FDA, 172.515: right amount is limited. |
biological activity | Vanillylacetone (NSC 15335) is similar in chemical structure to other spices, such as Vanillin and Eugenol, and is used as a flavor additive. Vanillylacetone (Zingerone) can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and down-regulate NF-κB-mediated signaling pathway. Zingerone act as an anti-mitotic agent and inhibit the growth of neuroblastoma cells. |
