In a previous paper (Bosser and Belin, 1994), it was shown that the co‐oxidation of β‐carotene (BC) by xanthine oxidase in aqueous solutions at 37 °C led to β‐ionone, epoxy‐5,6‐β‐ionone, and dihydroactinidiolide (DHA). We explain in this article the pathways between the ionone derivatives, and the respective places of each volatile compound in the enzymatic bleaching of BC are discussed. We also propose a simple synthetic way to DHA from commercially available β‐ionone.
