Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2018
ADI: No safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent
Meeting: 86
Specs Code: M
Comments: The Committee did not re-evaluate (-)-carvone (No. 380.2) according to the revised Procedure for the Safety Evaluation of Flavouring Agents given the lack of information on the oral exposure from all sources and the lack of toxicological data.
Report: TRS 1014-JECFA 86/78

DescriptionThis compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes.
