Description

(+)-β-Funebrene CAS NO 79120-98-2 is a high-purity, naturally-derived sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, valued for its unique and characteristic woody, earthy aroma profile. This compound is a key chiral building block and fragrance ingredient, essential for creating sophisticated and complex scent accords. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F), cosmetics, and advanced organic synthesis industries for its olfactory and stereochemical properties.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: As a key heart or base note in premium perfumes, colognes, and personal care products, imparting woody, ambery, and earthy nuances.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used in trace amounts to add depth and natural complexity to specialty food and beverage flavorings.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Incorporated into essential oil blends and diffuser products for its grounding and natural aromatic qualities.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex terpenoids and fine chemicals.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Used as a natural fragrance component in high-end skincare, soaps, and lotions.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Utilized as a reference standard or reagent in phytochemical, olfactory, and synthetic chemistry research.

Quality Control

Our (+)-β-Funebrene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral purity is provided with every shipment, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements of the flavors, fragrances, and fine chemical industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
