Nerolic acid, also known as (Z)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid, is an organically-derived chemical.
Nerolic acid is found in the Nasonov scent gland of honey-bees along with geraniol, geranic acid, citral, farnesol, and nerol. Of these, nerolic acid, geraniol, and farnesol are present in the highest proportions. [1] [2] [3]
It is one of the five compounds that are part of the essential oils of Myrcia Ovata. [4]
It is a compound also found in great quantity in Myrcia lundiana and it possess antifungal properties against pathogens such as Fusarium solani, and Lasiodiplodia theobromae. [5] Both Myrcia Ovata and Myrcia lundiana are part of the Myrtaceae family plant, both containing a certain percentage of Nerolic acid compound. [4] [5]
In addition to this, Nerolic acid is also a principal chemical compound of essential oils of lemongrass, and is also believed to possess antifungal properties. [6]
