Alpha-Phellandrene stands out as a remarkably versatile Terpene isolate, renowned for its minty, peppery, and citrusy aroma. This near-colourless and highly viscous oil is predominantly extracted from Eucalyptus. Often referred to as phellandrene, it should not be confused with Beta-Phellandrene, and its name is derived from eucalyptus phellandra. While originally associated with narrow-leaf eucalyptus, it is also the primary terpene in the essential oil of broad-leaf eucalyptus (eucalyptus dives). Similar to eucalyptus, isolated alpha-phellandrene exudes a pleasant citrus and minty scent.
Additionally, phellandrene is present in the common culinary ingredient, allspice. As a monoterpene with two isoprene units, research suggests potential benefits:
- Boosting the immune system
- Possessing anti-fungal properties
- Contributing to the fight against inflammation
- Aiding in the destruction of cancer cells
- Assisting in pain reduction
