Applications
Oxygen-containing sesquiterpenes are commonly used as fragrance ingredients and odorants in perfumery, providing aroma and longevity while sometimes acting as fixatives. They are also employed in cosmetics and personal care as fragrance components and, in some cases, for mild skin-conditioning or antimicrobial effects. In the flavor and food-processing sector, these compounds can contribute aroma and flavor notes, while in household products and cleaning formulations they serve as scent additives to improve consumer perception. Additionally, some oxygenated sesquiterpenes function as semiochemicals in agriculture, acting as insect attractants or repellents for crop protection, and they may be used as intermediates in the synthesis of fragrance-related chemicals in industrial manufacturing.
