It is widely used in fragrance formulation and the synthesis of more valuable aromatic substances, such as acetyl cedrene, cedryl ketone, etc.

In China, the content of alpha Cedrene above 85%.

alpha-Phellandrene is an oily liquid with colorless to light yellow colors. Has black pepper odor character. Flash point is 49°C. The boiling point (by 2133 pa.) of right-handed body at 66~88°C, and the left-handed body at 58~59°C. Soluble in ethanol and ethyl ether, insoluble in water.

The right-handed body is existed in cinnamon oil,  ginger oil, elemi oil, cumin oil and other plants.  The left-handed body is existed in eucalyptus oil, star anise oil, gump couch oil, laurel oil, pepper oil and other plants.

alpha-Pinene has pines odor, is the main constituent of Turpentine, which found naturally in above 400 kinds of essential oils. Extracted on fractionation from Turpentine. In flavor industry, alpha-Pinene is mainly used to synthesis Terpineol, Linalool and other Sandalwood fragrance. It also used as flavoring on daily chemicals. (content less than 2%).

Alpha Terpinene is isolated from cardamom and marjoram oils, one of the group in isomeric hydrocarbons. Which is a flavoring and fragrance chemical used in the personal care and cosmetic and food industries. Also used in the pharmaceutical and electronics semi-conductor manufacturing industries.

There are two sources, one is natural distilled from tree extract, another kinds of Alpha terpineol is isolated from essential oil. Alpha terpineol is widely used as a basic component in lilac, lime and flavors. Alpha terpineol can also be used as raw material for the synthesis of other aroma chemicals.

Alpha terpineol is obtained industrially by dehydration of terpin hydrate or by direct hydration of the terpene hydrocarbons contained in turpentine oil. When obtained synthetically, it also contains the isomers β-and-γ-terpineol.

α-Phellandrene and β-phellandrene are cyclic monoterpenes and are double-bond isomers. In α-phellandrene, both double bonds are endocyclic and in β-phellandrene, one of them is exocyclic. Both are insoluble in water, but miscible with ether. Beta-Phellandrene is widely distributed in essential oils (Angelica, Eucalyptus, Lavandula, Mentha, Pinus species).

The phellandrenes are used in fragrances because of their pleasing aromas. The odor of β-phellandrene has been described as peppery-minty and slightly citrusy. Consequently, beta-Phellandrene is widely used in flavor industry.

Beta-Pinene and alpha-Pinene are found naturally in the Turpentine oil of pine trees. According to the different species of pinus, there is a difference in the contents of beta-Pinene. beta-Pinene appears light yellow liquid with a pine-like woody odor.
