trans-β-Farnesene, also known as, β-Farnesene, is a volatile compound that is naturally found in various plants, including apples, grapes, and citrus fruits. This compound has a sweet, citrus-like aroma and is classified as a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon. It has been widely studied as a model compound for terpenoids, with a focus on their mechanism of action, reactivity, and structure. It has also been used as a starting material for the synthesis of other terpenoids, such as limonene and linalool. Furthermore, trans-β-Farnesene has been used in biocatalysis and as a substrate for the production of biofuels.
