  • Applications

    Neophytadiene (CAS 504-96-1) is a naturally occurring diterpene with a green, herbaceous aroma, used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient in foods, beverages, tobacco, perfumes, cosmetics, and home/personal care to impart or round out green-woody notes; employed as a reference compound in certain GC/GC-MS analyses and as a marker when profiling essential oils, botanical extracts, and plant volatiles; explored in agricultural and chemical ecology research as a semiochemical that can attract or repel specific insect species, aiding pest monitoring; utilized as an intermediate/precursor to generate diterpene derivatives and to hydrogenate into phytane for geochemical standards; and frequently investigated in preclinical studies for reported antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, serving as a lead-like molecule for bioactivity screening.
