my country is rich in violet resources and ionone has good application prospects

Ionone, also known as ionone, is an important spice and organic intermediate. Under normal conditions, it mainly appears as a colorless or light yellow oily liquid. It has a floral and woody aroma similar to violet flowers, and is accompanied by a fruity aroma. Fragrance. Ionone is widely used in perfumes, cosmetics, food additives and other fields, and has high economic value. According to different sources, ionone products are divided into natural ionone and synthetic ionone. Among them, natural ionone has the advantages of rich raw material resources and excellent quality, and is the mainstream product in the market.

According to the “2023-2028 China Ionone Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, violet Ketones belong to rose ketones and are widely found in essential oils extracted from various plants such as violet, iris, osmanthus, etc. Among them, violet oil has the highest content. Violet is mainly used as an ornamental plant and is widely planted in my country. Violets are suitable for growing in an environment with good ventilation and sufficient sunshine. The main producing areas of violets in my country are Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Rich raw material resources have laid a raw material foundation for the development of my country’s ionone industry.

The main applications of ionone include perfumes, cosmetics, food additives and other fields. In the field of perfume, ionone has a unique aroma and volatility and is one of the key raw materials for making high-end perfumes. It can be used to prepare fruity scented products such as raspberry, cherry, and citrus; in the field of cosmetics, ionone can be used It can be used to make facial creams, lipsticks and other products, and has good moisturizing and skin care effects; in the field of food additives, ionone can be used to make drinks, candies and other products, and has good taste and smell effects.

The production process of ionone mainly includes distillation method, extraction method, etc. Among them, the distillation method is one of the mainstream production processes, with the advantages of higher yield and lower production cost; the extraction method has higher purity and product quality, but requires the use of a large amount of organic solvents and energy during the production process, which is harmful to the enterprise. Cause greater financial and environmental pressure. At present, with the continuous advancement of technology and more in-depth research in academic circles, new ionone production processes are being continuously developed. The chemical synthesis method using pseudoionone and citral as raw materials is the main development direction of new production processes.

There are few companies producing ionone in my country, mainly including Shandong Xinhecheng Pharmaceutical, Wanhua Chemical Group, Xiamen Traditional Chinese Medicine Factory, etc. Most of them have rich experience in pharmaceutical or fine chemical production, complete production lines and complete brands. construction, with obvious market competitive advantages. It is expected that as market competition intensifies in the future, some small and medium-sized enterprises will be forced to withdraw from the ionone market.

Industry analysts said that ionone companies should increase investment in research and development, strengthen technological innovation, improve production efficiency and product quality, and strengthen cooperation with Upstream and downstream enterprises cooperate and communicate to create a complete industrial chain through coordinated development. At the same time, they actively develop new application fields of ionone, expand the market scope, and promote the overall sustainable development of the industry.
