Metabolite Identification
Common Name(+)-alpha-Carene
Description(+)-alpha-Carene, also known as car-3-ene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Thus, (+)-alpha-carene is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on (+)-alpha-Carene.
