Megastigmatrienone also known as tobacco ketone, is a mixture containing four isomers. It naturally exists in burley tobacco and flue-cured tobacco, and is formed by the degradation of carotenoids.

Its odor characteristics are distinctive: it has a strong and long-lasting tobacco aroma, accompanied by sweet aroma, warm aroma, and a spicy undertone, as well as a hay-like sweet aroma and a cool-sweet sensation.

It has a wide range of uses. Primarily, it is applied in tobacco flavors — it can enhance tobacco aroma, mellow smoke, and mask off-notes, serving as a key spice for cigarettes. Additionally, it can be used for flavoring in food (such as milk and bread) and improving the fragrance retention of daily chemical products (such as shampoo and perfume), thereby enhancing aroma longevity.
