Ocimene

Products & Informations

Ocimenes are a group of isomeric hydrocarbons, the isomer of Myrcene.

It includes α-Ocimene, cis-β Ocimene, and trans-β Ocimene. Ocimene is naturally found in many essential oils, such as basil oil, lavender oil, and clary sage oil, etc. Ocimene is industrially prepared by pyrolysis of alpha-Pinene under high temperatures.

It appears colorless liquid with floral and green odor and is widely used in fragrance formulation.

APPLICATIONS & USES

1. Used in fragrance formulation
2. Used as synthesis material for all ocimene

Benefits

Like other terpenes, the ocimens are nearly insoluble in water, but soluble in common organic solvents.
ocimenes are unstable in the air.

Packaging

Storage

  • flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room
  • ground all equipment containing material
  • keep away from heat
  • keep away from sources of ignition
