Terpineol (CAS 8000 - 41 - 7) is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol. It exists in three isomeric forms: alpha - terpineol, beta - terpineol, and gamma - terpineol, with alpha - terpineol being the most common and commercially important. Our High - Quality Terpineol offers a purity that meets the highest industry standards.
Physical Properties: It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, lilac - like odor. It has a boiling point around 217 - 218°C and a density of approximately 0.93 - 0.94 g/cm³ at 25°C. It is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in ethanol, ether, and other organic solvents.
Chemical Properties: Terpineol contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom in the cyclic structure, which gives it certain chemical reactivity. It can undergo reactions such as esterification, oxidation, and dehydration under appropriate conditions.
Fragrance Industry: Terpineol is widely used as a fragrance ingredient due to its pleasant, floral odor. It is a key component in many perfumes, colognes, and scented candles. It can also be used to enhance the aroma of soaps, detergents, and other cleaning products.
Flavor Industry: In the food and beverage industry, terpineol is used as a flavoring agent. It can impart a fresh, citrus - like flavor to various products, including candies, chewing gums, and soft drinks.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Terpineol has some antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is used in the formulation of certain topical medications and disinfectants. Additionally, it can be used as an expectorant in cough syrups to help loosen phlegm.
Industrial Solvent: Due to its good solubility in organic solvents, terpineol is used as a solvent in the paint, lacquer, and printing ink industries. It can help dissolve resins, pigments, and other components, improving the quality and performance of these products.
Fragrance and Flavor Applications: When using terpineol in fragrance or flavor formulations, it should be added in appropriate proportions according to the desired intensity. It is recommended to conduct small - scale tests first to determine the optimal dosage. Terpineol can be mixed with other fragrance or flavor ingredients using standard mixing equipment, ensuring thorough blending.
Pharmaceutical Applications: In pharmaceutical formulations, terpineol should be used in accordance with strict quality control standards. It may need to be purified further to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical grade. When formulating topical medications, it should be mixed with appropriate carriers and excipients under sterile conditions.
Industrial Solvent Applications: In industrial applications, terpineol can be added directly to the paint, lacquer, or printing ink formulations. The amount used depends on the specific requirements of the product, such as viscosity, drying time, and solubility. It is important to follow the safety precautions during handling, as terpineol is flammable.
Fragrance Company Case: A well - known fragrance company was looking to develop a new perfume with a fresh, floral scent. They incorporated our high - quality terpineol into their formulation. By carefully adjusting the ratio of terpineol with other fragrance ingredients, they were able to create a unique and appealing perfume that received positive feedback from consumers. The pleasant odor of terpineol added a natural and refreshing note to the perfume, making it stand out in the market.
Food and Beverage Company Case: A beverage company wanted to introduce a new line of citrus - flavored soft drinks. They used terpineol as a flavoring agent. After conducting multiple taste tests, they found that a specific concentration of terpineol provided the perfect balance of freshness and flavor. The new soft drinks were a great success, increasing the company's market share in the citrus - flavored beverage segment.
Pharmaceutical Company Case: A pharmaceutical company was developing a new topical antifungal cream. They incorporated terpineol into the formulation due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Clinical trials showed that the cream containing terpineol was more effective in treating fungal infections compared to similar products without it. The use of terpineol not only improved the efficacy of the product but also reduced the reliance on synthetic antifungal agents.
