What is Terpineol？

Terpineol is a monoterpenoid alcohol appearing as a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a characteristic lilac-like odor. It is slightly soluble in water but miscible with ethanol, ether, and most organic solvents. The commercial product is typically a mixture of isomers (α-, β-, and γ-terpineol), with α-terpineol being the predominant component. It occurs naturally in various essential oils and is widely used in fragrance and flavor applications.
