MeSH definition : Compounds with a core of 10 carbons generally formed via the mevalonate pathway from
the combination of 3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate.
They are cyclized and oxidized in a variety of ways. Due to the low molecular weight
many of them exist in the form of essential oils (OILS, VOLATILE).;
