Common Nameall-trans-Phytofluene
DescriptionAll-trans-Phytofluene, also known as phytofluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family. Thus, all-trans-phytofluene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. All-trans-Phytofluene is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. All-trans-Phytofluene is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
