Product Overview
Description:
α-Guaiene is a volatile, bicyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbon naturally identified via advanced gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as a major aromatic constituent of the essential oil fractions harvested from Pogostemon cablin (patchouli), serving as a crucial reference standard for terpene metabolomics, fragrance profiling, and botanical synthesis mapping.
