alpha-Farnesene

3,7,11-Trimethyl-1,3,6,10-dodecatetraene, (trans,trans)-

C15H24 (204.1878)


alpha-Farnesene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. (3E,6E)-alpha-Farnesene, also known as trans-alpha-Farnesene, is a sweet, bergamot, and citrus tasting flavouring ingredient. (3E,6E)-alpha-Farnesene is a constituent of the natural coating of apples and pears and other fruit. It has been identified in gingers, cottonseeds, common oregano, sweet oranges, spearmints, guava, pomes, and pears. This could make (3E,6E)-alpha-farnesene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Alpha-farnesene is a farnesene that is 1,3,6,10-tetraene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 7 and 11 respectively. alpha-Farnesene is a natural product found in Eupatorium cannabinum, Lonicera japonica, and other organisms with data available. See also: Chamomile (part of); Cannabis sativa subsp. indica top (part of). Constituent of the natural coating of apples and pears and other fruit. Flavouring ingredient. (3E,6E)-alpha-Farnesene is found in many foods, some of which are cottonseed, spearmint, ginger, and fruits.

   

Geranyl acetate

Geranyl acetate, food grade (71\\% geranyl acetate, 29\\% citronellyl acetate)

C12H20O2 (196.1463)


Geranyl acetate is a clear colorless liquid with an odor of lavender. (NTP, 1992) Geranyl acetate is a monoterpenoid that is the acetate ester derivative of geraniol. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is an acetate ester and a monoterpenoid. It is functionally related to a geraniol. Geranyl acetate is a natural product found in Nepeta nepetella, Xylopia sericea, and other organisms with data available. See also: Lemon oil, cold pressed (part of); Coriander Oil (part of); Java citronella oil (part of). Neryl acetate is found in cardamom. Neryl acetate is found in citrus, kumquat and pummelo peel oils, ginger, cardamon, clary sage, myrtle leaf and myrtle berries. Neryl acetate is a flavouring agent A monoterpenoid that is the acetate ester derivative of geraniol. Geranyl acetate, an acyclic monoterpene ester derived from geraniol, is widely used in the cosmetics industry due to its pleasant scent[1]. Geranyl acetate can induces cell apoptosis[2].

1-Pyrroline

3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrrole

C4H7N (69.0578)


Pyrrolines, also known under the name dihydropyrroles, are three different heterocyclic organic chemical compounds which differ in the position of the double bond. Pyrrolines are formally derived from the aromate pyrrole by hydrogenation. 1-Pyrroline is a cyclic imine while 2-pyrroline and 3-pyrroline are cyclic amines. Present in clam and squid. Flavouring agent for fish products and other foods. 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyrrole is found in many foods, some of which are garden onion (variety), breadnut tree seed, chinese bayberry, and kiwi.
