alpha-Cedrene 90% is a high-purity sesquiterpene, naturally found in cedarwood oil, often alongside Beta Cedrene and Thujopsene. This product appears as a light yellow transparent liquid, exuding a distinctive woody aroma. Industrial grade α-Cedrene is obtained through the meticulous separation of cedar oil, removal of “cedar brains”, and subsequent fractionation of the remaining sesquiterpene-rich components. In China, this product typically boasts an α-Cedrene content of over 85%, ensuring its exceptional quality.

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

alpha-Phellandrene is a colourless to light yellow oily liquid, exuding a distinctive black pepper, fresh, citrus, minty, and herbaceous complex aroma. As an important monoterpene compound, it is widely found in various plant essential oils and exists in both its optical isomer forms (dextrorotatory and laevorotatory).

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 is an important monoterpene naturally occurring in nature, known for its distinctive pine scent. It is a primary component of Gum turpentine and is widely found in over 400 types of natural essential oils, including those from pine, fir, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, and frankincense.

Industrially, high-purity alpha-Pinene is primarily extracted through the fractional distillation of gum turpentine, ensuring its quality and stability.

In the flavor and fragrance industry, alpha-Pinene is primarily used to synthesize compounds such as Terpineol, Linalool, and other sandalwood fragrances. It is also used as a flavoring agent in daily chemicals, with a typical content of less than 2%.

alpha-Terpinene is an isomeric hydrocarbon isolated from cardamom and marjoram oils. It is a versatile flavoring and fragrance chemical used across the personal care, cosmetics, and food industries. Additionally, alpha-Terpinene is utilized in the pharmaceutical and electronics semiconductor manufacturing industries, where its properties contribute to various applications and formulations.

Alpha-Terpineol 95% is a high-purity terpene alcohol, typically presenting as a colourless transparent liquid with a distinctive lilac and pine aroma. As a versatile chemical, it can be sourced both naturally (e.g., via distillation from tree extracts like pine oil) and synthetically. Industrially, alpha-Terpineol is primarily produced by hydrating alpha-pinene or dehydrating terpin hydrate, with the synthetic process often resulting in isomers such as β-Terpineol and γ-Terpineol.

It is widely used as a key component in fragrances such as lilac and lime. alpha-Terpineol also serves as a raw material for synthesizing other aromatic chemicals.

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. It is industrially separated from turpentine oil on the rectification tower. The refined beta-Pinene is the original ingredient of fragrance raw materials. It can also be used in daily chemicals formulation.

The application of hot tearing to Myrcene is used as synthetic raw materials of Linalool, Geraniol, Nerol, Myrac aldehyde, Lyral, Ambergris and other flavors. Refined beta-Pinene can be used as the flavor of daily chemicals, and control the contents less than 2%.

Camphene, a colourless and crystalline solid, is found in minute quantities in Turpentine. Its odour is similar to Camphor, and it is nearly insoluble in water, but well soluble in common organic solvents. It is a minor constituent of many essential oils such as Turpentine, Cypress oil, Camphor oil, Citronella oil, Neroli, Ginger oil, and Valerian.

Camphene is used chiefly as materials for Synthetic Borneol, Sandalwood fragrance, Synthetic camphor, Synthetic perfumes, IBOA, Toxaphene perfume, medicines and other synthetic organic chemicals. It is also used as a food additive for flavouring, and as a flavouring agent in soap and deodorant, and as a raw material for pesticides.

With a special aroma, Carvacrol is widely used in fragrance formulation, oral product, spice, medicine etc. It’s used as a disinfectant and fungicide due to its capability of killing bacteria and intestinal parasites.

Cedar oil, also known as cedarwood oil, is an essential oil derived from the foliage, and sometimes the wood and roots, of various types of conifers, most in the pine or cypress botanical families.

Cedar oil has many uses in medicine, art, industry and perfumery, and while the characteristics of oils derived from various species may themselves vary, all have some degree of bactericidal and pesticidal effects.

Cedramber is colorless to light yellow transparent liquid with a woody and amber-like odor. It is prepared by methylation of cedrol. First, take cedrol as raw material, and then convert it into sodium alkoxide, finally through the methylation reaction to obtain cedramber.
