Caryophyllone
Caryophyllene (also spelled caryophyllane) is a sesquiterpene commonly found in cannabis, black pepper, cloves, and hops. In cannabis breeding records, strains tagged with caryophyllene-dominant profiles often derive from parent lines like OG Kush, Sour Diesel, and Bubba Kush. The compound is typically associated with a spicy, peppery, or woody aroma profile. Analytical testing identifies caryophyllene through gas chromatography and mass spectrometry; its presence and concentration vary significantly across cultivars and environmental conditions. Breeders tracking terpene inheritance have noted caryophyllene expression can shift during flowering, curing, and storage.

Caryophyllene-forward lineages are frequently selected by breeders seeking specific aroma signatures and stability across generations. Backcrossing programs and pheno-hunting within caryophyllene-rich families help establish consistent terpene profiles for commercial and research lines.
