Description

clear liquid γ-Terpinene is a colorless liquid with an herbaceous citrus odor and can be prepared by isomerization of limonene. p-Mentha-1,4-diene has a characteristic lemon odor (not as lemony as the alpha-isomer, but warmer). It has a slightly bitter, herbaceous, citrus-like flavor; woody, terpene, tropical lemon odor.


Liquid|Colourless oily liquid; refreshing, herbaceous-citrusy aroma


Gamma-terpinene is one of three isomeric monoterpenes differing in the positions of their two double bonds (alpha- and beta-terpinene being the others). In gamma-terpinene the double bonds are at the 1- and 4-positions of the p-menthane skeleton. It has a role as an antioxidant, a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a monoterpene and a cyclohexadiene.
