Product Information
| Description: | Menthofuran is a proximate toxic metabolite of (R)-(+)-Pulegone. Menthofuran regulates essential oil biosynthesis in peppermint by controlling a downstream monoterpene reductase. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
