Safety

Low concern · Limited data

Sabinene is a widespread monoterpene hydrocarbon in nutmeg, savin, juniperberry and other oils. Direct data are limited, but reproductive testing detected no adverse effects.

Reproductive. Pregnant rats, mice and hamsters given sabinene at up to 105, 224 and 240 mg/kg/day during critical gestational windows showed no adverse effects on offspring or maternal survival. Sabinene was administered as part of a mixture with α-pinene and β-pinene.

Notes

Sabinene contributes a soft peppery-wood character to many spice oils. It is more stable than α-pinene and less prone to oxidation.
