Terpineol & Its Derivatives
Overview of TERPINEOL
Terpineol is a naturally derived monoterpene alcohol known for its pleasant lilac-like fragrance and
diverse industrial uses. Extracted from pine oil and other essential oils, it offers a floral-pine aroma
profile and is widely recognized in the fragrance, cleaning, and pharmaceutical industries.
Its low toxicity, biodegradability, and antimicrobial and antifungal properties make it ideal for
eco-friendly product formulations. In addition to its aromatic appeal, Terpineol functions as a powerful
solvent and performance enhancer across applications ranging from perfumes to paints.
What Are Terpineol & Its Derivatives?
Terpineol and its derivatives are naturally occurring or chemically synthesized terpene alcohols,
commonly produced by hydrating alpha-pinene or via citrus limonene. These bio-based compounds are highly
valued for their fragrance, solvent capabilities, and functional bioactivity in multiple product
categories.
