Luebke, William tgsc, (1989)“Bitter grapefruit fresh fruity”
Givaudan“Citrus, fresh, fruity dimethyl octenone can be used to great advantage in citrus accords where it underlines the natural bitterness of the fruit. its combination with fresh notes is much appreciated for the diffusion that it brings to compositions. its utilisation with certain modern accords can give original and natural grapefruit effects.”
