Limonene and perillyl alcohol are used in cleaning products. [13] [14] Many monoterpenes are used as food flavors and food additives, such as bornyl acetate, citral, eucalyptol, menthol, hinokitiol, camphene and limonene. [15] [16] Menthol, hinokitiol and thymol are also used in oral hygiene products. Thymol also has antiseptic and disinfectant ...
The term terpene was coined in 1866 by the German chemist August Kekulé to denote all hydrocarbons having the empirical formula C 10 H 16, of which camphene was one. Previously, many hydrocarbons having the empirical formula C 10 H 16 had been called "camphene", but many other hydrocarbons of the same composition had different names.
Terpineol is any of four isomeric monoterpenoids.Terpenoids are terpene that are modified by the addition of a functional group, in this case, an alcohol.Terpineols have been isolated from a variety of sources such as cardamom, cajuput oil, pine oil, and petitgrain oil. [2]
Lavandulol is a monoterpene alcohol found in a variety of essential oils such as lavender oil. [3] The term refers to either of two enantiomers.The (R)-enantiomer is natural and has an aroma described as "weak floral, herbal odor with slightly lemon-like, fresh citrus fruity nuance"; the (S)-enantiomer has only a weak odor.
Linalool (/ l ɪ ˈ n æ l oʊ ɒ l, l aɪ-,-l oʊ oʊ l,-ˈ l uː l /) refers to two enantiomers of a naturally occurring terpene alcohol found in many flowers and spice plants. [1] Together with geraniol, nerol, citronellol, linalool is one of the rose alcohols. [2]
Citral is an acyclic monoterpene aldehyde. Being a monoterpene, it is made of two isoprene units. Citral is a collective term which covers two geometric isomers that have their own separate names; the E-isomer is named geranial (trans-citral; α-citral [2]) or citral A. The Z-isomer is named neral (cis-citral; β-citral [2]) or citral B.
