What is FARNESENE?
Chemical properties
Farnesene has a fruity, herbaceous odor.
Occurrence
Reported found in natural oils including angelica root oil (2,100 ppm), corn mint oil (<2,000 to 10,000 ppm), lemon peel oil (200 ppm), lime peel oil and peppermint oil (1,000 to 10,000 ppm) Also found in apple, chamomile, grapefruit juice, ginger, lemon juice, lime juice, mandarin peel, nutmeg, pear, grape, pepper, quince, rosemary, basil, sage, tea and thymus
The Uses of FARNESENE
α-Farnesene acts as an alarm pheromone in termites; also acts as a food attractants for the apple tree pest, the codling moth. α-Farnesene is also the chief compound contributing to the scent of gardenia, making up ~65% of the headspace constituents.
