Sesquiterpenoids are a class of compounds derived from sesquiterpenes but are chemically modified, often through oxidation or the addition of other functional groups. Like sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpenoids consist of 15 carbon atoms and contribute to the aromatic profile and therapeutic properties of plants, including cannabis.
In the Wild — Example
The heavy, woody, and spicy notes in certain cannabis varieties are largely driven by sesquiterpenoids.
