Description

β-Phellandrene is a naturally occurring monoterpene hydrocarbon, a key component in the essential oils of various plants, valued for its characteristic woody, citrus-like aroma. This compound is a versatile intermediate and fragrance ingredient, prized for its role in creating complex, natural scent profiles. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor, aroma chemical, and specialty chemical synthesis industries seeking high-purity botanical components.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A key building block and aroma chemical for creating and enhancing citrus, pine, and spicy notes in perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: Used as a component in therapeutic blends and for standardizing the olfactory profile of natural essential oil products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex terpenoids, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals.
• Industrial Fragrancing: Employed in the formulation of air fresheners, household cleaners, and detergents to impart fresh, natural scents.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry, phytochemistry, and studies of terpene biosynthesis.

Quality Control

Our β-Phellandrene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis, to verify identity, purity, and the absence of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for every batch, detailing all specifications and test results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
