Happy #TerpeneTuesday! Let's focus on terpinolene today! (Ter-pin-o-lean) The ending -ene means a double bond is present which is seen below! People have said the aroma is best described as a "fresh" smell.
Found in trees like lilacs, tea tree, and interestingly APPLES! Think of cumin and nutmeg... A dynamic aroma from floral to citrus and herbaceous-pine.🌲🌿 #terpenetuesday
Terpinolene is in a variety of strains but often are in small quantities. 1 in 10 strains are terpinolene dominant, coincidentally these are also the strains that have high THC. #terpenetuesday
A perfect example of the entourage effect in play is Terpinolene...
Lets talk about anticancer properties! Terpinolene had shown in 2013 to kill brain cancer using rat models. It also has shown to affect the expression of AKT. AKT mediates cell proliferation and survival signals. Activation of ATC is involved in a lot of cancers.
In 2011, there was a study showing sage, rosemary and other extracts were used in vitro. They then found the amount of proteins (that are responsible for cancer growth) through a thing called Western Blot (doesnt reall matter, just interesting).
It showed that terpinolene was effective in reducing ATK. 2nd lane is rosemary, 3rd is sage, 4th is green tea. The first lane was not treated and shows much more presence of ATK! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3362481/
If you'd like to have some more dream team terpinolene in your life, look for strains like:
-Jack Herer
-Ghost Train Haze
-Sour Diesel

(also golden pineapple, which i've never heard of- sounds like a perfect name for this sweet pine terp)

& as always set your vapes to: 187 °C
Finally, its 420! Time for Julia's Tree Rating (which really doesn't mean anything but its fun okay?)
Terpinolene has a extensive smell and flavor profile, whats not to love about this rejuvenating scent?
Which is why it gets a...
4.5🌲/5🌲 and 🍎🍏
