Description	Beta-himachalene is a member of the class of compounds known as himachalane and lippifoliane sesquiterpenoids. Himachalane and lippifoliane sesquiterpenoids are diterpenoids with a structure based on either the himachalane or the lippifoliane skeleton. Thus, beta-himachalene is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Beta-himachalene can be found in anise and ginger, which makes beta-himachalene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
