Description	Sesquiterpenes belongs to eudesmanolides, secoeudesmanolides, and derivatives class of compounds. Those are terpenoids with a structure based on the eudesmanolide (a 3,5a,9-trimethyl-naphtho[1,2-b]furan-2-one derivative) or secoeudesmanolide (a 3,6-dimethyl-5-(pentan-2-yl)-1-benzofuran-2-one derivative) skeleton. Sesquiterpenes is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sesquiterpenes is a bitter tasting compound found in ceylon cinnamon, pepper (spice), and potato, which makes sesquiterpenes a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Sesquiterpenes are a class of terpenes that consist of three isoprene units and have the molecular formula C15H24. Like monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes may be acyclic or contain rings, including many unique combinations. Biochemical modifications such as oxidation or rearrangement produce the related sesquiterpenoids .
