alpha-Pinene has a distinctive pine scent and is a primary component of Gum turpentine. It occurs naturally in over 400 types of essential oils and is extracted through fractional distillation from gum turpentine.
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 can be sourced in two ways: naturally, through distillation from tree extracts, or synthetically, by isolating it from essential oils. 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.
Industrially, alpha-Terpineol is produced either by dehydrating terpin hydrate or by directly hydrating the terpene hydrocarbons found in Gum turpentine oil. When synthesized, it often contains isomers such as β-Terpineol and γ-Terpineol.
