(E)-Hex-3-en-2-one is a fatty acid that can be found in the chemical compositions of macroalgae. It has been shown to have antibacterial activity and is used as a food additive. (E)-Hex-3-en-2-one has a strong, sweet odor and is classified as a volatile oil. The dilution method for this compound was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This method is specific for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agents against bacteria. This method is based on the kinetic data from rhamnolipids, which are antimicrobial agents found in plants.
