Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Guaiol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Guaiol is a mild, balsamic, and guaiacwood tasting compound found in ginger, which makes guaiol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Guaiol or champacol is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol found in several plants, especially in the oil of guaiacum and cypress pine. It is a crystalline solid that melts at 92 °C. Guaiol is one of many terpenes found in Cannabis .
