Metabolite Identification
Common Namealpha-Copaene
Descriptionalpha-Copaene, also known as aglaiene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. These are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. alpha-Copaene is possibly neutral. alpha-Copaene is a spice and woody tasting compound that can be found in several food items such as lime, mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), safflower, and summer savoury, which makes alpha-copaene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. alpha-Copaene can be found in feces and saliva.
