A type of organic chemical compound containing a conjugated system of carbon atoms, formed when acetyl groups are joined with aromatic rings.
From Greek 'chalkos' (copper, bronze) + '-one' (ketone chemical suffix), named for the characteristic conjugated structure that resembles linked copper bonds.
Chalcones are nature's chemical artists—found in plants and flowers, they're responsible for many yellow and red pigments, and scientists are discovering they have powerful health benefits.
