  • Applications

    cis-β-Sesquiphellandrol (CAS 56144-26-4) is a natural sesquiterpene alcohol found in certain essential oils (e.g., ginger) and is used primarily as an analytical standard and botanical authenticity marker in aroma/metabolomics; as a fragrance ingredient in fine fragrances, personal care, and home care for warm spicy–woody, ginger-like nuances that reinforce bases and add depth; as a trace flavor in beverages, confectionery, and savory applications to impart ginger/citrus facets (subject to IFRA/IOFI guidance and local regulations); as a reference for assessing essential-oil stability/oxidation during storage; as a model compound in microencapsulation, controlled-release, and carrier–matrix interaction studies; as a precursor/chiral building block for sesquiterpenoid derivatives; and it is frequently investigated for biological activities (antimicrobial, antioxidant, inflammation-modulating) and early-stage insect behavior effects, informing potential development in cosmeceuticals, food preservation, and pest management.
