Perilla ketone（Cat No.:R061793）is a natural monoterpene compound found in the essential oils of Perilla frutescens, a plant widely used in Asian cuisine and traditional medicine. It is characterized by a reactive furan ring and is known for its distinct aromatic properties. While perilla ketone contributes to the flavor and fragrance of perilla leaves, it is also recognized for its biological activity. Notably, it can be toxic to livestock, particularly causing pulmonary edema in cattle and sheep. Due to this, its presence is closely monitored in animal feed and forage plants.
