Chemical Information
FooDB Name(S)-alpha-Phellandrene
Descriptionalpha-Phellandrene, also known as menthadiene, is one of two known Phellandrene isomers, alpha- and beta-, which are double-bonded. In α-phellandrene, both double bonds are endocyclic and in alpha-phellandrene, one of them is exocyclic. alpha-Phellandrene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. p-Menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes. alpha-Phellandrene is possibly neutral, insoluble in water, but miscible with ether. alpha-Phellandrene has a mint, spice, and turpentine taste. alpha-Phellandrene is found in highest concentrations in anises, common sages, and ceylon cinnamons and in lower concentrations in peppermints. alpha-Phellandrene has also been detected in dills, fennels, sweet basils, and tarragons. This could make alpha-phellandrene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The phellandrenes are used in fragrances because of their pleasing aromas.
