General description

cis-3-Hexenyl acetate is a volatile aroma compound naturally found in virgin olive oil and Jasminum sambac flower. It is used as a flavoring agent in the food and cosmetics industries.

Application


  • Volatiles from cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) infested plants attract the natural enemy Hippodamia variegata.: This study explored how volatiles, including cis-3-Hexenyl acetate, emitted by cotton plants infested with Aphis gossypii attract the natural predator Hippodamia variegata, highlighting its potential in biological pest control strategies (Yi et al., 2023).
