Metabolite Identification
Common NameGamma-terpinene
Descriptiongamma-Terpinene, also known as 1,4-p-menthadiene or crithmene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as branched unsaturated hydrocarbons. These are hydrocarbons that contains one or more unsaturated carbon atoms, and an aliphatic branch. Thus, gamma-terpinene is considered to be an isoprenoid. gamma-Terpinene exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on gamma-Terpinene.
