General description

Myrcene is one of the key monoterpene volatile compounds of the of Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf leaves, mugwort leaves and Xylopia aromatic leaves, cotton plant, chamchwi plant and guava. It is also a potential nematode attractant.

Application


  • Selective Reactivity of Myrcene for Vat Photopolymerization 3D Printing and Postfabrication Surface Modification.: This research highlights the selective reactivity of myrcene in vat photopolymerization for 3D printing, demonstrating its potential in creating functionalized surfaces for biomedical applications (Weems et al., 2020, Biomacromolecules).

  • Inverse Vulcanization of Sulfur using Natural Dienes as Sustainable Materials for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.: This article explores the use of myrcene and other natural dienes in the inverse vulcanization of sulfur, promoting sustainable materials for lithium-sulfur batteries (Gomez et al., 2016, ChemSusChem).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Odor at 1%

Other Notes

Natural occurrence: Anise seed, basil, beer, black currant, gin, laurel, rosemary and thyme.

Disclaimer

The substance W276200 has no REACH registration because the only supported use is the use in medicinal products for human or veterinary use or in food or feedingstuffs according to article 2 of the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
