Description	Constituent of the pheromones of Anastrepha suspensa, Euploea tulliolus koxinga and Labidus subspecies [CCD]_x000D_ _x000D_ Ocimene refers to several isomeric hydrocarbons. The ocimenes are monoterpenes found within a variety of plants and fruits. alpha-Ocimene and the two beta-ocimenes differ in the position of the isolated double bond: it is terminal in the alpha isomer. alpha-Ocimene is 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene. beta-Ocimene is 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene. beta-Ocimene exists in two stereoisomeric forms, cis and trans, with respect to the central double bond. The ocimenes are often found naturally as mixtures of the various forms. The mixture (as well as the pure compounds) is an oil with a pleasant odor. It is used in perfumery. trans-beta-Ocimene is found in many foods, some of which are fig, cornmint, tarragon, and hyssop.
