Application


  • Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties of β-Pinene: A study on the essential oil of Eugenia stictopetala Mart. ex DC., which contains β-pinene, highlighted its significant antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This research underscores the potential of β-pinene in developing natural alternatives for gastrointestinal protection and microbial infections treatment (Veras et al., 2024).

  • Histochemical Localization of Essential Oils Containing β-Pinene: Research on Crithmum maritimum L. examined the distribution of essential oils, including β-pinene, within plant tissues. This study aids in understanding the role of β-pinene in plant defense mechanisms and its potential applications in pharmacology and biochemistry (Dzhoglova et al., 2024).

  • Antimicrobial Activity of β-Pinene: An investigation into Citrus limon essential oil, which contains β-pinene, assessed its antimicrobial efficacy against Salmonella enterica in carrot. This research highlights β-pinene′s role in food safety and its potential as a natural preservative (Kačániová et al., 2024).

  • Anticancer Properties of β-Pinene: A study on Seseli tortuosum L. subsp. tortuosum essential oils, rich in β-pinene, explored their efficacy as anticancer agents. This research opens avenues for β-pinene′s use in cancer treatment, emphasizing its bioactive properties in inhibiting tumor growth (Vaglica et al., 2024).

  • Health Benefits of β-Pinene in Traditional Medicine: Analysis of Amomum villosum Lour and Amomum tsao-ko revealed that their fruit essential oils, containing β-pinene, exhibit significant health-promoting properties. This study supports the therapeutic uses of β-pinene in traditional medicine, particularly for enhancing human health (Imran et al., 2024).
