Nerolidol is found in Ginger, Jasmine, Tea tree and other plants including Cannabis.
With its fruity and woody aroma, it is used in food and essential oil production.
Nerolidol is a Sesquiterpene, meaning it is less volatile and more aromatic than Monoterpenes and other evaporative substances.
Just like other Terpenes, Nerolidol is a substance produced by plants in response to insect attacks.
This Terpene has an earthy and woody scent with fruity and floral undertones of citrus, apples, and roses. It is a rare component in the terpenoid profile of many cannabis strains.
Nerolidol is a major enemy of numerous bacteria, fungi, parasites, mites, lice, and other pests, so it can be safely ingested and inhaled by humans.
It was traditionally consumed for its relaxing effect and is widely used as a food flavoring.
Nerolidol in Cannabis Plant
Terpenoid profiles can vary greatly between cannabis plants depending on genetics and environmental factors. While it’s not easy to choose a strain that contains a specific Terpene, especially if it’s not one of the main Terpenes, keep in mind that many cannabis strains containing Nerolidol have a woody, fruity, and citrusy aroma that lingers in the buds and when smoked.
Nerolidol Effects
Trans-Nerolidol produces sedative effects and calms anxiety when consumed as part of the cannabis entourage effect. It has a floral and woody aroma with hints of citrus, melon, apples, and lemongrass.
