    Raspberry ketone occurs in a variety of fruits, including raspberries, cranberries, and blackberries. [3] It is detected and released by orchid flowers, e.g. Dendrobium superbum (syn D. anosmum), [4] and several Bulbophyllum species [5] [6] [7] to attract raspberry ketone-responsive male Dacini fruit flies.

  5. Acetoin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoin

    Acetoin is a neutral, four-carbon molecule used as an external energy store by a number of fermentative bacteria. It is produced by the decarboxylation of alpha-acetolactate, a common precursor in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids.
