1 8 Cineole
1,8-Cineole, also known as eucalyptol, is a monocyclic monoterpene commonly found in cannabis alongside other volatile compounds. Lineage records frequently report elevated 1,8-cineole in certain chemotype families, particularly those with heritage connected to landrace populations from specific geographic regions. The compound is structurally distinct from acyclic monoterpenes like myrcene and limonene, featuring a six-membered oxygen-containing ring. Breeders working in terpene-focused selection programs often encounter this molecule as a minor but detectable component in the total terpene profile. Its presence is sometimes correlated with particular phenotypic expressions in offspring.
