Humulene
Humulene
Humulene (alpha-humulene; formerly alpha-caryophyllene) is a monocyclic sesquiterpene and one of two isomers (the other being beta-caryophyllene). Humulene is likely made as a by-product in caryophyllene synthesis, which explains its high prevalence despite lower concentrations.
Humulene is commonly known for its herbaceous and hoppy aroma and is most commonly found in hop plant varieties.
