Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Valencene is used for aldehydic and citrus notes in small quantities.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Valencene in its natural state can be extracted from Clary Sage Absolute (up to 3%) or Sweet Orange EO.

Isomerism :

Caryophyllene, another sesquiterpene, is an isomer of Valencene. Its smell is less aldehydic and more spicy, close to Black Pepper EO.

Synthesis precursor :

Valencene is a precursor to the synthesis of Nootkatone by oxidation.

Synthesis route :

Valencene is more often synthesized biochemically using enzymes produced by fungi. The enzyme is called valencene synthase and the most used mushroom is the Schizophyllum commune.
