DescriptionFarnesol, also known as (2E,6E)-farnesol or trans-farnesol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, farnesol is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Farnesol.
