Description

(+)-p-Menth-1-Ene CAS NO 1195-31-9 is a high-purity, naturally-derived monoterpene hydrocarbon, specifically the (+)-enantiomer of α-phellandrene. This compound is valued for its distinct, fresh, and slightly minty aromatic profile, making it a key building block in the creation of complex fragrance and flavor compositions. It serves as a critical chiral intermediate and aroma chemical for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, food, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural character and specific stereochemistry.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A primary component and modifier in fine perfumery for creating fresh, citrusy, minty, and herbaceous top notes. Used in flavors for citrus, spice, and mint profiles.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex terpenoid flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceutical agents.
• Natural Product Isolation & Standard: Serves as a high-purity reference standard for analytical testing, quality control, and research in essential oil analysis.
• Food & Beverage: Employed as a flavoring agent in products requiring a natural citrus-mint character, adhering to relevant food-grade regulations.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in R&D for exploring the biological activity and synthesis of terpene-based compounds.
• Industrial & Household Products: Incorporated into air fresheners, cleaning products, and detergents to provide a fresh, natural scent.
