CAS 106-28-5: Trans,Trans-Farnesol
Description:Trans,Trans-Farnesol is a naturally occurring acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol with the chemical formula C15H26O. It is characterized by its colorless to pale yellow liquid appearance and is known for its pleasant floral scent, making it a common ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Trans,Trans-Farnesol is derived from various essential oils and is also produced by certain plants, contributing to their aroma. It exhibits antimicrobial properties, which have led to its use in food preservation and as a potential therapeutic agent. Additionally, it plays a role in the biosynthesis of other terpenes and is involved in various biological processes. Its stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for various applications in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in pharmaceuticals. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
