Terpena

Terpena (/ˈtɜːrpiːn/) ialah kelas produk semula jadi terdiri daripada sebatian dengan formula (C ₅ H ₈) _n. Terdiri daripada lebih daripada 30,000 sebatian, hidrokarbon tak tepu ini dihasilkan terutamanya oleh tumbuhan, terutamanya tumbuhan konifer.^[1]^[2] Terpenes dikelaskan lagi mengikut bilangan karbon: monoterpenes (C ₁₀ ), sesquiterpenes (C ₁₅), diterpenes (C ₂₀), dll. Monoterpene yang terkenal ialah alpha-pinene, komponen utama turpentin.
