Resources and bioactivity applications of 3-carene were reviewed in this study.3-Carene mainly exists in the volatile essential oils of Pinaceae plants,such as P.longifolia salisb.,P.sylvestris L.,P.szemaoensis,and of Chinese medicinal herbs,such as Piper nigrum L.,Murraya koenigii L.,Levisticum officinale Lovage etc..The essential oils are usually prepared with steam distillation,and then rectified and purified to obtain 3-carene.It can be used as active ingredients directly in the form of original herbs or as intermediates and compositions of pharmaceuticals,pesticides,cosmetics in the form of essential oil.

3-carene is found in essential oils from Pinaceae plants and Chinese medicinal herbs, and can be used as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and cosmetics.
