Product Description:
Beta-Ocimene is a naturally occurring organic compound that belongs to the terpene family. It exists as a mixture of three isomers: cis β-Ocimene, trans β-Ocimene and myrcene-like β-Ocimene. It has a pleasant, sweet herbaceous scent and is found in many plants, including mint, basil, parsley, and kumquat. β-Ocimene is widely used in the flavor and fragrance industry due to its characteristic aroma and taste. It also has potential applications in agriculture as natural insect repellants and pheromones that attract beneficial insects. β-Ocimene has potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities.
