Description

Zingiberene is a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon that is a major component of ginger oil, giving ginger its characteristic aroma and flavor. It exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Zingiberene has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in treating digestive disorders, nausea, and pain. Research on zingiberene synthesis focuses on developing efficient methods for its production, both naturally and synthetically, to meet the growing demand for this valuable compound.'
