Application
Bisabolene is a natural sesquiterpene (FEMA 3331) valued for its warm, sweet-spicy-balsamic aroma with citrus, woody, and tropical notes. In the flavor and fragrance industry, it serves as a key ingredient in recreating oils of bergamot, myrrh, and lemon, and acts as an exceptional fixative for neroli bases, imparting scent longevity in perfumery. As a GRAS flavoring agent, it is incorporated into baked goods, confectionery, beverages, and frozen dairy. In cosmetics, bisabolene provides anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits, making it suitable for skincare formulations. Pharmaceutical research has identified its potential anti-inflammatory, anticancer (apoptosis induction in A549 cells), and anticonvulsant activities. It is also explored as a biofuel precursor via microbial fermentation and as a natural biopesticide.
