C10 Sesquiterpenes
C10 sesquiterpenes are a class of fifteen-carbon volatile compounds commonly found across cannabis chemotypes. This family includes compounds like β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, and β-myrcene precursors that contribute to earthy, woody, and spicy aromatic profiles in cannabis. C10 sesquiterpenes are often tagged as secondary contributors to the overall terpene profile, appearing alongside more dominant monoterpenes. Lineage records frequently report C10 sesquiterpene expression varying with environmental stress, phenotype, and harvest timing. Understanding C10 presence helps breeders select for specific aromatic complexity and stability across generations.
