Pharmacological action

Valencene is a sesquiterpene that is an aroma component of citrus fruit and citrus-derived odorants.

Valencene is natural flavors and fragrances, these essential oils have been widely used in the food, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Valencene are natural flavors and fragrances, these essential oils have been widely used in the food, chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Valencene is the main constituent of orange (Citrus sinensis) peel oil. Chemical oxidation of valencene requires the use of tert-butyl chromate.For plants, several cytochrome P450 enzymes capable of oxidising valencene have been described. The bicyclic sesquiterpene (+)-valencene is a main component of the essential oil of Valencia oranges (Citrus sinensis).

Valencene is also a chemical precursor to nootkatone, a grapefruit flavor ingredient. Valencene has proved tricky to make chemically, so valencene buyers have historically depended on orange extracts, the supply and pricing of which has been disrupted by weather events such as Hurricane Andrew and diseases

such as citrus greening.

Valencene is reported to occur in the following foods* and is found in some natural complex substances (NCS):

Annatto (Bixa orellana L.) Artichoke Cardamom (Ellettaria cardamomum Maton.) Celery (Apium graveolens L.) Citrus fruits Cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata Thunberg) Cocoa Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Hop (Humulus lupulus) Macadamia nut (Macadamia integrifolia) Mangifera species Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus) Olive (Olea europaea) Thyme (Thymus species).
