In vivo studies on the metabolism of the monoterpenes S-(+)- and R-(-)-carvone in humans using the metabolism of ingestion-correlated amounts (MICA) approach

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jf010157q

The major in vivo metabolites of S-(+)- and R-(-)-carvone in a metabolism of ingestion correlated amounts (MICA) experiment were newly identified as α,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-3-cyclohexene-1-acetic acid (dihydrocarvonic acid), α-methylene-4-methyl-5-oxo-3-cycloh
