Whiskey lactone (CAS 39212-23-2)
QUICK LINKS
Whiskey lactone, a natural compound present in oak wood essential oil, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid boasting a robust, woody fragrance. Not only is it utilized in the production of whiskey and other alcoholic beverages, but it also finds its way into perfumes and cosmetics. Researchers have explored its effectiveness as an insect repellent. Delving into its specific effects, whiskey lactone acts as both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent. The compound′s ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines is believed to be key in reducing oxidative stress. Whiskey lactone holds considerable promise not only as a component in the world of alcoholic beverages and fragrances but also as a subject of research in the field of medicine, garnering increased interest.
