Is isoeugenol the same as eugenol?
Eugenol and its isomer isoeugenol are both used as flavouring agents or food additives in food products, and have both some similar biological properties. However, the difference in biological activities between eugenol and isoeugenol is rarely studied.
What is isoeugenol used for?
Isoeugenol is a substance added to fragrances to give them that unique sweet-yet-spicy scent. While it can be created in a lab, isoeugenol can also be found in essential oils, such as ylang-ylang. It is used by Fragrance Creators to make vanillin in a lab.
What is isoeugenol found in?
