γ-Terpinene

Description:

γ-Terpinene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid hydrocarbon belonging to the terpenoid family, specifically classified as a monoterpene. It is characterized by its pleasant citrus-like aroma, making it a common component in essential oils, particularly those derived from plants such as thyme and cumin. The molecular formula of γ-terpinene is C10H16, and it features a branched structure with multiple double bonds, contributing to its reactivity and potential as a precursor in organic synthesis. γ-Terpinene is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which have led to its use in various applications, including cosmetics, food preservation, and as a natural pesticide. It is relatively stable under normal conditions but can undergo oxidation when exposed to air, resulting in the formation of peroxides. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Proper handling and storage are recommended to minimize exposure and ensure safety.
