Chemical Information
FooDB Name7-Methyl-3-methylene-1,6-octadiene
Descriptionβ-Myrcene or myrcene is an acyclic monoterpene. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes is known to occur mainly through the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastids. β-Myrcene is a significant component of the essential oil of several plants, including allspice, bay, hops, houttuynia, lemon grass, mango, myrcia, verbena, west indian bay tree, and cardamom. It is also the main component of wild thyme, the leaves of which contain up to 40% by weight of myrcene. Industrially, it is produced mainly semi-synthetically from myrcia, from which it gets its name. β-Myrcene is a flavouring agent and it is used in the perfumery industry. It has a pleasant odor but is rarely used directly. It is a key intermediate in the production of several fragrances such as menthol, citral, citronellol, citronellal, geraniol, nerol, and linalool.
