Ipensol, also referred to as 2-MEO, is an organic compound. As a monoterpene alcohol, it exists as a colorless and viscous liquid at room temperature, boasting a sweet floral scent and a low boiling point. The versatility of Ipsenol lies in its utility in fragrance production and its incorporation as an additive in various food and beverage formulations. It serves as an intermediary compound in fragrance manufacturing and serves as an additive in different consumables. The precise mechanism of action for ipensol remains an ongoing subject of investigation. Nonetheless, it is believed that it scavenges free radicals, thereby preventing oxidative damage. Additionally, studies have revealed its inhibitory effects on the growth of select bacteria and fungi, as well as its potential in managing diabetes.
