Ocimene refers to a group of isomeric hydrocarbons that are part of the terpene class and are found in a variety of plant species. In research, ocimene is frequently studied for its role in plant defense mechanisms and as a key component of essential oils. It has been investigated for its ability to attract pollinators as well as its function as a signaling molecule in plant-to-plant and plant-to-insect communication. The compound′s volatility is also of interest, as this property makes ocimene a candidate for studies on the evaporation and dispersal of plant volatiles in the environment. Furthermore, research into ocimene includes analysis of its impact on the aroma and flavor profiles of various fruits and herbs, which is significant for the food and perfume industries.
