Humulene

Description:

Humulene, also known as α-humulene, is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in various plants, particularly in hops (Humulus lupulus), which are used in beer production. It has a distinctive earthy, woody aroma and contributes to the flavor profile of certain beers. The chemical formula of humulene is C15H24, and it features a complex structure with multiple rings and double bonds, characteristic of terpenes. Humulene is known for its potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties, making it a subject of interest in both food science and medicinal research. It is also recognized for its role in the entourage effect, where it may enhance the therapeutic effects of other cannabinoids and terpenes. In terms of physical properties, humulene is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a relatively low boiling point. Its solubility is primarily in organic solvents, and it is less soluble in water. Overall, humulene is an important compound in the fields of botany, food science, and pharmacology.
