Terpinolene belongs to the naturally occurring group of menthadienes , i.e. terpenes with a p-menthane structure and two double bonds .
The α-terpinolene is also known inconsistently as δ-terpinene and is therefore one of the isomeric terpinene .
Terpinolene occurs in numerous isomeric forms in essential oils and is found in grapevines ( Vitis vinifera ), Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), juniper ( Juniperus communis ), tea tree ( Melaleuca alternifolia ), Celery ( Apium graveolens ), Marjoram ( Origanum majorana ), Valerian ( Valeriana officinalis ), Coriander ( Coriandrum sativum ), parsley ( Petroselinum crispum ), polei mint ( Mentha pulegium ), rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis ), nutmeg ( Myristica fragrans ) and different eucalyptus species .
Here it is produced via a (-) - α- terpineol synthase ( terpene synthase ).
Parsnip oil is particularly rich in terpinolene, in which it is contained in a proportion between 40 and 70 percent.
Terpinolene is also the alarm pheromone of termites
Terpinolene appears as a water-white to light amber colored liquid. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Used to make plastics and resins.
Terpinolene is one of the naturally occurring derivatives of the menthadienes, which occur in numerous isomers in essential oils.
Terpinolene occurs in traces in Vitis vinifera and is synthesized there by a (-) - alpha-terpineol synthase (terpene synthase).

Terpinolene is one of over 200 terpenes produced by the cannabis plant.
This molecule is present in many modern chemotypes, albeit in relatively small amounts compared to other substances of the same chemical class.
Scientists have noted that this terpene is found mainly in sativa strains.
Terpinolene is a small and simple molecule.
Terpinolenes molecular structure is made up of two isoprene units, which places it in the monoterpenes category, along with limonene and myrcene.
Despite its low levels, terpinolene contributes significantly to the overall aroma of many cannabis strains - a testament to its potency.
However, its strong fragrance is not produced only for human sensual enjoyment.
Marijuana plants produce terpinolene - along with many other terpenes and cannabinoids - to protect against pests and fungal pathogens, thanks to the substance's larvicidal and antifungal properties.
Even though it is a fairly small molecule, it is full of promise.
Scientific research is still in the process of discovering the full therapeutic potential of terpinolene.
Most of this research is still in its early stages, but it appears that terpinolene may play a significant role in future cannabis research.
Terpinolene is one of the many terpenes found in the cannabis plant.
Terpinolene is partly responsible for the fact that cannabis often gives off a woody, pine-like odor.
This terpene is not only found in cannabis, but is also formed in tea trees, apples, cumin, sage, rosemary and lilacs as well as in conifers.
Also known as Delta Terpinene, the woody aroma of terpinolene is often accompanied by citrus and floral tones.
Terpinolene's a permanent member of the extensive terpene family that is native to cannabis flowers, so let's meet this hydrocarbon.
Dangerous for eyes and respiratory tract.
Flash point between 23 ° C and 60 ° C (or above 60 ° C; the product is transported above its flash point).
Self-heating
Not or only partially miscible with water (less than 10%), lighter than water.
The effect of heat on containers leads to an increase in pressure with a risk of bursting and subsequent explosion.

Can form explosive mixtures with air at increased ambient temperatures.
Prone to sudden inflammation.
The vapors can be invisible and are heavier than air.
They spread on the ground and can penetrate into sewers and basements.
