(+)-Valencene is a sesquiterpene that is an aroma component of citrus fruit and citrus-derived odorants. (+)-Valencene is biosynthesized from FPP by the CVS enzyme. It is a precursor to nootkatone, the main contributor to the aroma and flavor of grapefruit. Within the cell, (+)-Valencene is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from logP) and cytoplasm. It can also be found in burdock. This makes (+)-Valencene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this plant.
