What Is Cymene?

What Is Cymene?


Cymene is a naturally occurring member of the terpene family present in the essential oils of many plants. Cymene has a wide variety of health benefits that have only recently begun to be recognized by the scientific community, including use as an antibiotic, anti-anxiety treatment, anti-inflammatory, and potentially as a cancer treatment. Cymene is found in cannabis as well and combines with other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that also provide potent anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effects.Get more news about para cymene,you can vist our website!

What Is Cymene?
Cymene’s chemical properties are largely due to its structure: one benzene ring with one methyl group and one isopropyl group attached. Cymene has three isomers: p-cymene, m-cymene, and o-cymene. Allomers have a molecular weight of 134.21g/mol and a density of 857kg/m3, making cymene lighter than water.

Cymene is naturally present in high quantities in the essential oils of thyme and oregano and smaller amounts in a wide range of herbs and spices. Common plants containing cymene are anise, cannabis, coriander, and cumin. In small quantities, cymene has a pleasant odor described as citrus, woody, sweet and earthy but can be overwhelmingly harsh and turpentine-like in strong concentrations. For this reason, cymene is used in the perfume industry and added in small amounts to cleaning products.

Cymene also alters how other aromatics smell and taste, leading to its usage in the food and beverage industry as a flavor additive. Like most terpenes, cymene adds a woody, earthy, slightly menthol aspect to the taste and smell of cannabis. Cymene is only present in small amounts in a few strains of cannabis. Still, due to the entourage effect, cymene’s presence can significantly impact the type, length, and intensity of the “high” experienced.

Cymene has shown promise in many therapeutic applications, including anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anti-tumor, and pain-killing abilities. However, the usefulness of cymene as a medication is limited by a half-life within the human body of only 40 minutes. Ongoing research aims to prolong the effects of p-cymene and enable its use as a medication for various illnesses.
