  <name>(Z,E)-alpha-Farnesene</name>
  <description>(z,e)-alpha-farnesene is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units (z,e)-alpha-farnesene can be found in ceylon cinnamon, which makes (z,e)-alpha-farnesene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
