    Product Description

    (S)-(–)-Perillaldehyde is a terpene and volatile compound that has been found in Japanese shisho leaves and has antimicrobial and nematocidal activities.1,2 It reduces the total air microbial count in a testing room by 53% when sprayed at a concentration of 5 mg/m3.1 (S)-(–)-Perillaldehyde (250 µg/ml) induces 97% mortality in C. elegans soil nematodes.2 It is also an atmospheric pollutant that is formed from the oxidation of various terpenes, such as limonene (Item No. 25773) and α-pinene (Item No. 21576), among others.3
