It also contains cinnamic acid alcohol and aldehyde, farnesol, and nerolidol. Oxidation of farnesene then provides the sesquiterpenoid farnesol. Oxidation can then provide sesquiterpenoids such as farnesol. It contains proteins, lipids (notably cholesterol), phenols, cresols and sesquiterpenes (notably farnesol and its derivatives). The essential oils found in "Dalbergia parviflora" are nerolidol, farnesol, furfurol, aryl-benzofurans, and neoflavonoids. Quorum-sensing molecules (QSMs) from fungi include farnesol, tyrosol, phenylethanol, and tryptophol. Instead, there is a farnesol (15-carbon) precursor from which certain carbon segments are later excised. Farnesol is produced from isoprene compounds in both plants and animals. Farnesol is produced from 5-carbon isoprene compounds in both plants and animals. Farnesol is a natural 15-carbon organic compound which is an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol. Farnesol has been suggested to function as a chemopreventative and anti-tumor agent. Farnesol is found in a flower extract with a long history of use in perfumery. Farnesol is a natural pesticide for mites and is a pheromone for several other insects. Farnesol is used as a deodorant in cosmetic products because of its anti-bacterial activity.
