Description

β-Caryophyllene (CAS 87-44-5) is a naturally occurring bicyclic sesquiterpene renowned for its bold and complex aroma profile, blending spicy, woody, citrus, camphorous, and soft clove notes. It ranks among the most widespread constituents in plant essential oils and is abundantly present in clove, Ceylon cinnamon, cinnamon leaf, lavender, black pepper, and many other botanicals.

Although its natural abundance in essential oils is relatively modest, β-caryophyllene delivers a remarkably potent and tenacious scent. This exceptional persistence dramatically enhances its impact in flavor and fragrance compositions, making it one of the most valuable and versatile ingredients available. It imparts deep, grounding woody depth while contributing a distinctive, warm clove spiciness that lingers beautifully on the skin or in the air.

β-Caryophyllene finds broad application across cosmetics, household detergents, food and beverage products, and the creation of edible flavor systems. It is a key building block for recreating authentic clove, citrus, pepper, nutmeg, and related spice profiles. Beyond direct use, it also serves as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of other premium fragrance molecules, such as acetylated caryophyllene derivatives.

In addition to its established role in flavors and fragrances, extensive scientific research highlights the significant pharmacological properties of β-caryophyllene and its derivatives. These include notable anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, mosquito-repellent, anxiolytic, and antidepressant effects. Such a broad spectrum of bioactivities positions β-caryophyllene as a promising natural compound for pharmaceutical development and functional wellness products.

Traditional plant extraction of β-caryophyllene is constrained by its low natural concentration, resulting in high purification costs and limited scalability. Chemical synthesis routes, while feasible, typically involve processes characteristic of conventional chemical manufacturing, including environmental pollution concerns.

Genvera Labs has overcome these limitations through cutting-edge microbial biosynthesis technology. Our advanced, green production platform enables precise control over scale, dramatically higher efficiency, zero hazardous emissions, and full alignment with today’s demand for sustainable, safe, cost-effective, and high-performance manufacturing.
