Description

General description

Myrcene is a naturally occurring volatile monoterpene found in various plants, such as wild thyme, lemon grass, mango, cardamom, and cannabis. It is widely used as an aroma chemical in personal care and household products, besides being used as a flavoring agent (food additive) in various foods and beverages.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

• Determination of four flavor compounds— isoamyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, benzaldehyde, and myrcene, in commercial beer samples by using two solvent-less sample treatment techniques of stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for their subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID)
• Analysis of fresh mano samples for the detection and quantification of myrcene using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor, modified with ethyl cellulose
• Multi-residue analysis of volatiles and fatty acids found in wild and cultivated fennel samples by a single extraction method and gas chromatographic-flame ionization detection (GC-FID)
• Identification and determination of volatile aroma compounds, commonly present in three plant species from the Citrus genus by using simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) technique for sample treatment and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in electron ionization mode (EI)
• Secondary metabolite profiling of various plant parts collected from 82 plants belonging to 21 different cannabis strains using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for sterols and terpenoids (mono-, sesqui-, tri-), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and mass spectrometric (MS) detection for flavonoids

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

This compound is commonly found in plants of the genus: thymus
