d-carvone
D-carvone is the main constituent of the oil of caraway seeds. It can be used to create a warm, sweet, herbaceous breadlike taste. Over the years the footprint of D-carvone in the food industry has become bigger and bigger. And for good reasons. Despite its strong presence in food, you can also apply D-carvone as a pleasant fragrance in interior sprays and air fresheners.
