General description

β-Citronellene is an oxygenated monoterpene and is the major constituent of essential oils isolated from different plant species. Monoterpenes are known to have bactericidal, fungicidal, antiparasitic and insecticidal properties. β-Citronellene is also used in the production of various fragrance ingredients including dihydromyrcenol and cyclodemol.
(+)-β-Citronellene is an acyclic monoterpene compound.
