Product Description

Phellandrene is the name for a pair of organic compounds that have a similar molecular structure and similar chemical properties. Αlpha-Phellandrene and Beta-phellandrene are cyclic monoterpenes and are double-bond isomers. In α-phellandrene, both double bonds are endocyclic and in Beta-phellandrene, one of them is exocyclic. Both are insoluble in water, but miscible with ether.

 

Suggested Application

• The phellandrenes are used in fragrances because of their pleasing aromas. The odor of Beta-phellandrene has been described as peppery-minty and slightly citrusy.
• Phellandrene also can be used as insect-resist & insecticide, materials of terpenic resin and synthetic menthol.
