Metabolite Identification
Common NameAlpha-Farnesene
Descriptionalpha-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.
