α-Farnesene/β-Farnesene

Product Description of α-Farnesene/β-Farnesene

Reiki fragrance

Farnesene is a natural fragrance, found in a variety of plant essential oils, divided into α-Farnesene and β-Farnesene, Which aroma brings a texture of spirit.

α-Farnesene primarily comes from orange blossoms and rose flowers—the gradual dissipation of α-Farnesene results from the reduction in fragrance after the flowers are picked.

β-Farnesene, with a ginseng scent, primarily originates from plants such as patchouli, German chamomile, and juniper. It also contains small amounts of geranium, ginger, peppermint, and spearmint essential oils.

Microbiological fermentation

Due to the low natural occurrence of Farnesene in plants, large-scale extraction of these compounds is challenging. The microbial fermentation method has become one of the best ways for industrial production. It is not affected by seasonal, regional, or other factors and offers advantages such as easy access to raw materials, a short production cycle, low cost, high safety, and reduced environmental pollution. Wuhan Hesheng Technology utilizes synthetic biology methods, employing Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the fermentation chassis, to achieve an efficient synthesis of α--Farnesene and β-Farnesene.

Rich derivative function

Wuhan Hesheng Technology has innovated a process that uses bio-fermented farnesene as a raw material to synthesize isophotal, revolutionizing the production method of vitamin-E.

Furthermore, bio-fermented β-Farnesene can be used as a synthetic precursor for aviation fuel and can also be further developed into high-energy rubber, which can maintain excellent performance even in harsh environments such as high temperatures and extreme cold.
