Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameDihydrocarvone
DescriptionDihydrocarvone, also known as menth-8-en-2-one, 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. Monoterpenoids are terpenes that contain 10 carbon atoms and are comprised of two isoprene units. The biosynthesis of monoterpenes in plants is known to occur mainly through the methyl-eritritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastids (PMID: 7640522 ). Dihydrocarvone is an essentially neutral compound. It has a warm herbal, minty taste with a spicy minty woody camphoreous flavour ( Ref:DOI ). Dihydrocarvone is found in highest concentrations in spearmints, caraway, and wild celeries and was detected celery stalks, dills, pepper (spice), and peppermints. This could make dihydrocarvone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Dihydrocarvone is also found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ).
