  • Applications

    Delta-terpineol (CAS 7299-42-5) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery and cosmetics; it is also commonly evaluated for use as a flavoring component in foods under appropriate regulatory allowances. In household cleaning products and other consumer formulations, it contributes aroma and can act as a light solvent, while in industrial manufacturing it is used as a processing aid or solvent for coatings and inks. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenoid aroma compounds used in the fragrance industry. These applications reflect its role as a versatile monoterpenoid in fragrance, flavor, and formulation chemistry.
