Thujene (or α-thujene) is a natural organic compound classified as a monoterpene. It is found in the essential oils of a variety of plants, and contributes pungency to the flavor of some herbs such as Summer savory.[1]
The term thujene usually refers to α-thujene, a less common chemically-related double-bond isomer is known as β-thujene (or 2-thujene). Another double-bond isomer is known as sabinene.
