Description

Absinthin is a structurally unique triterpene, and is responsible for the high bitter value of wormwood. Absinthin is an agonist of the bitter taste receptor hTAS2R46, which reduces cytosolic Ca2+-rises induced by histamine by a receptor-specific mechanism mediated by hTAS2R46[1][2][3].


Absinthin is a dimeric sesquiterpene lactone that is produced by the plant Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood). The bitter tasting constituent of Absinthe. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a sesquiterpene lactone, a triterpenoid and an organic heteroheptacyclic compound.

Absinthin Use and Manufacturing

Absinthin is an extract from the bitter liquor Absinthe, which owes its taste to substances found in the wormwood plant used in its formulation. Absinthin contributes to this bitter taste through action upon the hTAS2R14 bitter taste receptor.
