Description: Along with α-Cedrene, β-Cedrene is one of two isomers that form Cedrene, a sesquiterpene derived from the essential oils of cedar, also used as a raw material for biofuel development. Like α-Cedrene, β-Cedrene’s crisp scents of pine and wood have contributed to its widespread use in fragrances, cosmetics, while its gentle sweet taste has seen it incorporated in beverages, sweeteners and baked goods. Similar to its isomer twin, β-Cedrene is a valued compound in traditional and holistic medicine. Studies have confirmed its therapeutic potency as anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic and antimicrobial agent. β-Cedrene has been found to be a competitive inhibitor of CYP2B6 with Ki value of 1.6μM.
