Used extensively in the fragrance and flavor industry, myrcene imparts earthy, musky, and slightly fruity notes to perfumes, colognes, and cosmetics. It serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of aroma chemicals such as menthol, citral, and other terpenoids used in soaps, detergents, and personal care products. In the food industry, it is employed as a flavor additive to enhance fruity and herbal profiles in beverages and processed foods. Myrcene also plays a role in enhancing the permeability of cell membranes, which may improve the absorption of other compounds, making it valuable in transdermal drug delivery systems. Additionally, it contributes to the characteristic aroma of hops in brewing and is found in various essential oils used in aromatherapy and natural product formulations.
