Raspberry ketone (p-hydroxybutanone) is the key metabolite among 230 volatile compounds that determine the bouquet of raspberry. In contrast to the complex mixture of other aromas that alter rapidly if the composition of their multiple compounds is not maintained raspberry ketone is the single dominant volatile that defines raspberry aroma . Raspberry ketone is a sought-after aroma that is widely used in the food industry for flavor beverages and dairy products. However, the natural occurrence of this compound in plants is low, between 1 to 17 ug/100g FW and may cost up to $10.000/kg. In addition, the natural product and not adulterations of that food additive increases appeal and value for commercial purposes. Although occurring only in low concentrations raspberry ketone and glucosidic derivatives have been found across the plant kingdom as well as in fungi. It biological functions are manifold such as acting as olfactory stimulant but raspberry ketone and derivatives also exert anti-obese actions and alter the lipid metabolism and showed growth inhibition and antifeedant activity.
