Terpineol

Description:
Terpineol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol with the chemical formula C10H18O. It is commonly found in essential oils, particularly in pine oil, and is known for its pleasant floral scent, which makes it a popular ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics. Terpineol exists in several isomeric forms, with alpha-terpineol being the most prevalent. This compound is characterized by its colorless to pale yellow liquid appearance and has a relatively low boiling point. Terpineol is soluble in alcohol and ether but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a disinfectant and in cleaning products. Additionally, terpineol is utilized in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a flavoring agent in food products. Its pleasant aroma and versatility in applications contribute to its significance in both the fragrance and chemical industries. Safety data indicates that terpineol should be handled with care, as it can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues in concentrated forms.
