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.
