Terpineol |
| |
|
Terpineol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol that
has been isolated from a variety of sources such as cajuput
oil, pine oil, and petitgrain oil. There are three isomers,
alpha-, beta-, and gamma-terpineol, the last two differing
only by the location of the double bond. Terpineol is
usually a mixture of these isomers with alpha-terpineol as
the major constituent.
Terpineol has a pleasant odor similar to lilac and is a
common ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavors.
Although it is naturally occurring, terpineol is commonly
manufactured from the more readily available alpha-pinene. |
