  • Applications

    Zingiberenol (CAS 58334-55-7) is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol from ginger essential oil and related Zingiberaceae species, applied as a flavor and fragrance ingredient delivering warm, spicy, woody, ginger-like facets in fine fragrances, candles, and personal care, and as a note modifier/fixative; used as a natural flavoring in foods and beverages subject to local regulations to deepen ginger, spice, and citrus profiles; employed in laboratories as a GC-MS reference/standard for qualitative and quantitative profiling, authenticity verification, and quality control of ginger oils and extracts; investigated for biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and insect-repellent effects, and as a semiochemical in plant-based pest management; explored as a scaffold in medicinal chemistry and biosynthetic studies to probe terpene synthases/P450s and biocatalytic transformations; soluble in organic solvents, oils, and ethanol but poorly in water, typically dosed at low levels due to high odor potency, and stored tightly closed, protected from light and oxygen to limit oxidation and volatilization.
