Bergamotene, along with its isomers α-Trans-Bergamotene and β-Trans-Bergamotene, which differ solely by the placement of their double bonds, is commonly present in various plants, particularly within essential oils. The most prevalent form found in nature is α-Trans-Bergamotene. Renowned for its sweet citrus scent, Bergamotene is often utilized in perfumes, essential oils, culinary applications, and skincare products, contributing a delightful fragrance that enhances the overall sensory experience. At present, Bergamotene is mainly sourced through physical extraction from essential oils. However, owing to the constraints of plant availability and the costs involved in extraction, the natural production of Bergamotene tends to be quite low, frequently leading to low concentrations and intricate mixtures of related compounds.

Microbial Fermentation: Leveraging its microbial chassis, HeshengTech produces β-trans-bergamotene through microbial fermentation. This method ensures high product purity and significantly reduces production costs, offering an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional extraction methods.
Potential Natural Insect Repellent: Both α-trans-bergamotene and β-trans-bergamotene have exhibited chemical pheromone effects in various insects and plants. These compounds act as pheromones for insects, attracting pollinators and luring natural enemies of pests, thereby assisting plants in pest defense. Their pheromone properties can be harnessed for pest monitoring, large-scale trapping, population suppression, and attract-and-kill strategies. This approach to pest control is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly, showcasing significant potential in the field of integrated pest management.
