| Description | Beta-Pinene, also known as terbenthene or 2(10)-pinene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bicyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids containing exactly 2 rings, which are fused to each other. Beta-Pinene is possibly neutral. Beta-Pinene is a dry, green, and hay tasting compound. Outside of the human body, beta-Pinene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as parsley, cumins, and corns and in a lower concentration in fennels, cornmints, and spearmints. Beta-Pinene has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as nutmegs, sweet oranges, pepper (c. Frutescens), tamarinds, and green bell peppers. This could make beta-pinene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Beta-Pinene, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; beta-pinene has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. β-pinene is found in Abies alba, Abies cilicica, Abies magnifica, Abies sachalinensis, Abies sibirica, Abutilon indicum, Achillea abrotanoides, Achillea
