Metabolite Identification
Common Name(Z)-Farnesol
Description(Z)-Farnesol, also known as (2Z,6E)-farnesol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, (Z)-farnesol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule (Z)-Farnesol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
