Description Bornyl acetate, also known as bornyl acetic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. Bicyclic monoterpenoids are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Bornyl acetate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Bornyl acetate is a camphor, cedar, and herbal tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as nutmeg, rosemary, spearmint, and sunflower, which makes bornyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
