Trans-Caryophyllene: 0%
Trans-caryophyllene is a natural organic compound and a member of the terpene family, which is commonly found in a variety of plants such as black pepper, clove, basil, and cinnamon. It is a bicyclic sesquiterpene with a characteristic aroma that is spicy, woody, and slightly sweet.
Trans-caryophyllene is unique among terpenes because it is also classified as a dietary cannabinoid due to its ability to interact with the endocannabinoid system. This means that it can bind to the CB2 receptors in the body, which are involved in regulating inflammation, pain, and immune system function.
In addition to its potential therapeutic benefits, trans-caryophyllene is also used in the food and fragrance industries as a flavoring agent. It is commonly used in spice blends, baked goods, and beverages to impart a warm, spicy flavor.
