multi-field application: a versatile natural flavor raw material
✔ Flavor and fragrance industry
As a core molecule in perfumery, Myrcene is often used to blend fruity, floral, herbal and woody fragrances, and is widely used in perfumes, soaps, air fresheners, toiletries and other products. It can simulate the natural aroma of fruits such as mango, peach, and citrus, giving products a more natural and layered olfactory experience in high-end plant fragrances.
✔ Food flavor and beverage flavoring
In the food industry, Myrcene is used as a natural food flavoring for tropical juices, soft candies, baked cakes, ice cream and other products. It not only increases the "mature fruit aroma", but also has the function of modification and coordination, and enhances the naturalness of the overall flavor. Especially in foods that meet the Natural Flavor Addition Standard (GRAS) and the concept of "zero artificial addition", Myrcene is a high-quality ingredient for "clean label" solutions.
✔ Plant functional extraction and health products
Studies have found that Myrcene has certain physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and soothing, so it is widely used in botanical extracts, aromatherapy, CBD formula essential oils, and sleep-aiding health products. It can enhance the soothing effect and is used as an active raw material for stabilizing the fragrance and synergizing the function in compound plant essential oils or sleep-aiding fragrance products.
✔ Tobacco and electronic atomization products
In tobacco products and e-cigarette oil formulas, Myrcene is very popular because it can create "fruit sweet-herbal-slightly spicy" compound fragrance. It can enhance the overall aroma level while masking the irritation of tobacco, making the user experience softer and smoother. It has been widely used in a variety of natural flavored electronic atomizer liquids and Chinese herbal tobacco shreds.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance Guarantee
Myrcene (CAS 123-35-3) has been approved by FEMA GRAS (No. 2762) and the US FDA, and its addition and use in food flavors, cosmetics and fragrances has a clear regulatory basis. In addition, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has also established corresponding standards for its concentration in daily chemicals and fragrances.
Although it is a natural source, Myrcene may cause slight irritation to the skin or respiratory system when the concentration is too high. Therefore, in the formula, it should be scientifically added according to the specific application to ensure that it can enhance the aroma without exceeding the safety threshold.
Market trends and future development prospects
With the global promotion of the concepts of "natural traceability", "sustainable development" and "Clean Label", the application of Myrcene is rapidly developing towards high-purity natural raw materials, green extraction processes, and functional formula upgrades. Leading plant flavor raw material manufacturers have launched industrial-grade Myrcene products with a purity of ≥90percent, and have passed ISO, GMP, HACCP and other quality certifications**, fully adapting to the regulatory requirements of the international market.
In the future, with the technological innovation of natural functional flavors and food flavors, Myrcene (CAS 123-35-3) will continue to expand its value boundaries in multiple industries such as natural flavors, plant essential oils, functional foods, and plant e-liquids with its unique flavor expression, biological functions and green properties, and become the core growth point of natural terpene compounds.
