Description

Caryophyllene CAS NO 17627-40-6 is a naturally occurring bicyclic sesquiterpene, a key component of many essential oils. It is valued for its distinctive woody, spicy aroma and its role as a selective cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonist. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries seeking high-purity, natural aromatic ingredients.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A primary building block for creating complex woody, spicy, and peppery notes in perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Used as a key aromatic component in essential oil blends and diffuser products for its grounding and calming scent profile.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into soaps, lotions, and creams as a natural fragrance ingredient and for its potential soothing properties.
• Food & Beverage: Serves as a flavoring agent to impart spicy, clove-like nuances to food products and beverages, where regulatory compliance permits.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Of significant interest in formulations targeting wellness support due to its interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system via the CB2 receptor.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in preclinical research for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and specialty materials.
