Notes:
Flavouring ingredient 3-Hexanone is a volatile constituent of urine. (PMID: 5556886); Cyclohexanone (also known as oxocyclohexane, pimelic ketone, ketohexamethylene, cyclohexyl ketone or ketocyclohexane) is a six-carbon cyclic molecule with a ketone functional group. It is a colorless, oily liquid with an acetone-like smell. Cyclohexanone is slightly soluble in water (5-10 g/100 ml), but miscible with the most common organic solvents.; An industrial solvent which causes nervous system degeneration. MBK is an acronym often used to refer to it.
