Application


  • Does green mean clean Volatile organic emissions from regular versus green cleaning products.: This research compares the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from conventional and green cleaning products, identifying a-phellandrene as a common component. The findings highlight the environmental impact of green products and their effectiveness (Harding-Smith et al., 2024).

  • RNA-Seq-Based Transcriptomics and GC-MS Quantitative Analysis Reveal Antifungal Mechanisms of Essential Oil of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels Seeds against Candida albicans.: The study uses RNA-Seq and GC-MS to investigate the antifungal properties of Clausena lansium essential oil, which contains a-phellandrene, against Candida albicans, providing insights into its potential therapeutic applications (Ma et al., 2023).

  • Unveiling the Anti-Cholera and Active Diabetic Renoprotective Compounds of Maqian Essential Oil: A Computational and Molecular Dynamics Study.: This study identifies a-phellandrene as an active compound in Maqian essential oil with anti-cholera and renoprotective effects, suggesting its potential for treating cholera and protecting against diabetic renal damage (Dahab et al., 2023).

  • Electrophysiological and Behavioral Responses of Batocera horsfieldi Hope to Volatiles from Pistacia chinensis Bunge.: This research examines the responses of Batocera horsfieldi to volatiles, including a-phellandrene, from Pistacia chinensis. The findings have implications for pest management strategies using natural volatiles (Fan et al., 2023).
