SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Nootkatone, grapefruit's characteristic compound, has one of the lowest known odour detection thresholds of any fragrance compound (detectable at 1 ppb in water โ 0.000001g/litre). yet nootkatone comprises only 0.1% of grapefruit oil โ meaning the compound is detectable at 10,000ร below its concentration in the oil. this extraordinary detection sensitivity explains why trace nootkatone defines grapefruit character despite being a minor constituent.
