δ-Terpineol

Description:

δ-Terpineol, also known as 4-terpineol, is a monoterpenoid alcohol with the chemical formula C10H18O. It is characterized by its pleasant floral aroma, often reminiscent of lilacs, making it a popular ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavorings. This compound is typically found in essential oils derived from various plants, including pine and tea tree oil. δ-Terpineol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in alcohol and oils but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, which contributes to its volatility. In terms of chemical properties, δ-terpineol can undergo typical reactions of alcohols, such as oxidation and esterification. It is also noted for its potential antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which have garnered interest in both food preservation and therapeutic applications. Safety data indicate that while δ-terpineol is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it can cause skin irritation in some individuals, necessitating caution during handling.

CAS: 7299-42-5

Terpinen-4-ol is a fatty acid that is found in a variety of plants, including camphor and tea tree. It has been shown to have antibacterial properties. Terpinen-4-ol also interacts with proteins on the surface of bacteria, inhibiting their growth. This inhibition is related to the formation of fatty acid esters, which cause changes in the cell membrane and inhibit protein synthesis. Terpinen-4-ol has been shown to reduce the growth of Camphora and other bacteria by interfering with energy metabolism.
