Description

Beta-pinene is a monoterpene found in various plants, particularly conifers. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic piney odor. It is synthesized through the isoprenoid pathway in plants. Beta-pinene is known for its insecticidal and antimicrobial properties. It is also used as a flavoring agent and fragrance in various products. Studies on beta-pinene focus on its potential therapeutic effects, particularly in areas like inflammation, pain relief, and cognitive function. Its role in plant defense mechanisms is also being investigated.'

beta-pinene: alpha-pinene is also available [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

beta-pinene : An isomer of pinene with an exocyclic double bond. It is a component of essential oils from many plants.
