Camphene
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.
