Bisabolenes are a group of closely related natural chemical compounds which are classified as sesquiterpenes. Bisabolenes are produced from farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP)[1] and are present in the essential oils of bisabol, and of a wide variety of other plants including cubeb, lemon, and oregano. Various derivates also function as pheromones in different insects, such as stink bugs[2] and fruit flies.[3] Bisabolenes are produced by several fungi, though their biological role in that group of organisms remains unclear.[4]

Three isomers are known, α-, β-, and γ-bisabolene,[5][6] which differ by the positions of the double bonds.

Uses

Bisabolenes are intermediates in the biosynthesis of many other natural chemical compounds,[7] including hernandulcin, a natural sweetener. β-Bisabolene has a balsamic odor[8] and is approved in Europe as a food additive.

Bisabolene has been identified as a biologically producible precursor to a diesel fuel alternative and/or cold weather additive bisabolane. [9]
