Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ZERUMBONE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Zerumbone

Zerumbone is a sesquiterpenoid and cyclic ketone that is (1E,4E,8E)-alpha-humulene which is substituted by an oxo group at the carbon atom attached to two double bonds. It is obtained by steam distillation from a type of edible ginger, Zingiber zerumbet Smith, grown particularly in southeast Asia. It has a role as a glioma-associated oncogene inhibitor, an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a sesquiterpenoid and a cyclic ketone. It derives from a hydride of an alpha-humulene. — ChEBI
