ketonic
Having carbonyl groups
Ketonic is an adjective describing something that relates to or contains ketones, which are organic compounds with a carbonyl group bonded to two carbon atoms.
In chemistry, ketonic refers to the characteristic properties or structure of ketones: ketonic solvents like acetone.
In medical contexts, ketonic often describes metabolic states where the body produces elevated ketone levels, as in ketonic breath, which has a distinctive fruity odor associated with diabetic ketoacidosis or strict low-carbohydrate diets.
