In nature terpenes do not occur in isolation. Individual plants produce a variety of types of these molecules that come together to form what is called a terpene profile. Research has revealed that terpenes possess significant wellness properties. Terpenes/terpenoids have a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, for instance, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiparasitic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial.
Hempture isolated terpenes are undiluted,100% pure, highly concentrated and completely raw, so they should be handled with care and should never be consumed without mixing them with the intended product. When diluted in the desired product and in the correct proportions, terpenes are 100% safe and provide flavour and other benefits, they can be used individually in your product to harness each terpene’s unique effect or combined in different terpenes.
Terpenes are the primary constituents of essential oils and are responsible for the aroma characteristics of cannabis. Together with the cannabinoids, terpenes illustrate synergic and/or entourage effect. Hundreds of terpenes are identified that allude to cannabis sensory attributes, contributing largely to the consumer’s experiences. They also enhance many therapeutic benefits.
Terpineol has a pleasant odor similar to lilac and is a common ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavors. α-Terpineol is one of the two most abundant aroma constituents of lapsang souchong tea; the α-terpineol originates in the pine smoke used to dry the tea.[3] (+)-α-terpineol is a chemical constituent of skullcap.
Terpineol is present in more than 150 plants and natural oils like lime blossoms, eucalyptus sap, sage, pine trees, and lilacs. Not to be confused with terpinolene, it’s commonly used in the industry for perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, soaps, and candles due to its lovely, pleasant scent. Its most common form is alpha-terpineol (α-terpineol).
Aroma: Floral, lilac-like, apple blossom scent, with citrus nuances and piney hints. Some users describe that terpineol tastes like anise and mint.
Effects: Terpineol exhibits a wide range of therapeutic qualities. Among the most significant properties of this primary terpene are its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects that ease painful acute or chronic diseases. Moreover, its antioxidant and antitumor properties make terpineol a helpful agent that can help fight certain types of cancer, including breast, lung, prostate, ovarian cancer, and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Besides these qualities, it possesses antimicrobial activity, induces vasodilation, lowers arterial pressure, and acts as a sedative and relaxing agent. Nevertheless, terpineol is irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. It is recommended to avoid contact with the skin and eyes and ingestion because it may produce hemorrhagic gastritis.
