β-Cyclocitral is a compound useful in organic synthesis. It has been in a biological study involving the analysis of aroma components with SSR markers in flue-cured tobacco. b-Cyclocitral is a monoterpene that has been shown to have antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans. It also inhibits the growth of cyanobacterial strains and causes cell lysis. The b-cyclocitral precursor, ethyl decanoate, is a major component of carotenoid pigments in some freshwater fish such as catfish and malic acid is a key metabolite of b-cyclocitral.
