Caryophyllene is a biochemical compound that is found in many different plants and is responsible for the smells and tastes we perceive. It is one of many terpene compounds that are important for flavours and aromas in a range of products, from foods to perfumes. Caryophyllene can be found in a number of important plants, but it is best known for its presence in cannabis, where it is one of the main terpenes.
One of the areas where caryophyllene is used is in perfumery. This ingredient is found in many essential oils and is sought after for its woody and spicy aroma profile. Another product where caryophyllene is used is in the food industry. Its presence in spices such as pepper, cloves or basil gives these spices their characteristic flavour. Caryophyllene is also used in alternative medicine, where it is thought that it may be anti-inflammatory and may have other potential health benefits. It is important to stress that although caryophyllene is present in cannabis, it does not have the psychoactive effects of THC.
