(2E,6E)-farnesol + NADP(+) = (2E,6E)-farnesal + NADPH + H(+)
(2E,6E)-farnesal + NAD(+) + H2O = (2E,6E)-farnesoate + NADH + 2 H(+)
S-(2E,6E)-farnesyl-L-cysteine + O2 + H2O = (2E,6E)-farnesal + L-cysteine + H2O2
(2E,6E)-farnesol + NAD(+) = (2E,6E)-farnesal + NADH + H(+)

Verified Data
Compound identity and culinary context are continuously cross-referenced across open scientific databases and maintained by Foodgeist's enrichment pipeline.
The Geist can be wrong. Some flavor, taste, and pairing values are model-predicted, not lab-measured.
