Terpenoids: Frequently found in aromatic and essential
oils, the terpenoids, also known as Terpenes, are one of the largest group of
active compounds in plants (currently some 25,000 have been identified and this
number is growing). Tests and studies on the effects of these compound have been
conducted on a small number but we still have a lot more to learn. If
this Terpenoids heading is not preceded by a paragraph with more detail on a
specific Terpenoid you can safely assume that very little is known about the
Terpenoid found in this particular herb and cannot assume that it will have even
vaguely similar characteristics to other Terpenoids as the field is big and very
varied. |
