Common NameCyclotene
DescriptionCyclotene is a cyclopentenone, a class of organic compounds characterized by a five-membered ring containing a carbonyl group. Its chemical structure features a cyclopentene ring with a ketone functional group, specifically 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one. Cyclotene is involved in various biochemical pathways, including the fermentation process of soy sauce, where lactic acid bacteria influence its production alongside other compounds like furfural and methional (PMID:27939139 ). Additionally, it is released during the thermal processing of raw flaxen samples, contributing to the sweet and caramel volatile profile (PMID:33508608 ). Cyclotene's concentration can also vary with the toasting intensity of wood chips used in flavoring, where it is extracted along with other aroma compounds like maltol and guaiacol (PMID:37664949 ). Furthermore, in model systems containing soy hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, cyclotene is identified as a sugar-degraded compound, indicating its relevance in food chemistry (PMID:36778086 ). Overall, cyclotene plays a significant role in the aroma and flavor profile of various food products, highlighting its importance in both chemistry and culinary applications.
