Description

(E,E)-Farnesol is a naturally occurring acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of other terpenoids. It is valued for its pleasant floral aroma and its role as a versatile building block in organic synthesis and fragrance creation. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking a high-purity, nature-identical ingredient.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A primary component and fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and detergents for its fresh, floral, lily-of-the-valley scent.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of vitamins (e.g., Vitamin E, K), steroids, and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used as an intermediate in the production of certain pesticides and insect pheromones.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties, finding use in research and formulation of preservative systems.
• Food Flavoring: Employed as a flavoring agent in food products, leveraging its natural origin and pleasant taste profile.
• Research & Development: A standard compound in biochemical and pharmacological research, particularly in studies of apoptosis, quorum sensing, and terpene metabolism.
