Abstract
Fourteen sesquiterpene ketones D–Q pertaining to the valencane (D–J) and eudesmane (K–Q) groups have been identified for the first time in grapefruit juice flavor. These novel grapefruit constituents, which include the six new compounds I, J, L, M, N and O, were identified by direct comparison with synthetic samples. Organoleptically, their total contribution to grapefruit flavor is not negligible. In particular, (+)‐8,9‐didehydronootkatone (E) has a powerful flavor with good grapefruit juice character.
