Terpineol is any of four isomeric monoterpenoids. 

Terpenoids are terpene that are modified by the addition of a functional group, in this case, an alcohol. 

Terpineols have been isolated from a variety of sources such as cardamom, cajuput oil, pine oil, and petitgrain oil.

Four isomers exist: α-, β-, γ-terpineol, and terpinen-4-ol. 

β- and γ-terpineol differ only by the location of the double bond. 

Terpineol is usually a mixture of these isomers with Terpineol as the major constituent.

Terpineol is a monoterpene that is found in the essential oils of certain plants, such as melaleuca alternifolia. 

Terpineol is one of the major monoterpenes present in eucalyptus oil and has shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. 

Terpineol has been shown to induce cell lysis and DNA fragmentation in human macrophages at low concentrations. 

Terpineol also induces genotoxic effects when exposed to laser ablation and water vapor.

Terpineol is a tertiary monoterpenoid alcohol widely and commonly used in the flavors and fragrances industry for Terpineol sensory properties. 

Terpineol is present in different natural sources, but Terpineol production is mostly based on chemical hydration using α-pinene or turpentine. 

Moreover, many bioprocesses for the microbial production of Terpineol via biotransformation of monoterpenes (limonene, α- and β-pinenes) are also available in the literature. 

In addition to Terpineol traditional use, Terpineol has also been evaluated in other application fields (e.g., medical), since some biological properties other than aroma, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, antimicrobial, and analgesic effects, among others, have been attributed to Terpineol. 

Therefore, this review presents an original compilation of data regarding the production (extraction directly from nature; chemical synthesis; via biotechnological process), the chemical and biological properties, and the current market and novel applications of Terpineol to guide further research in this area. 

Considering the information presented, we believe that Terpineol applications may transcend the flavors and fragrances industry in the future.

Terpineol is naturally found in pine oil, lavender oil, orange leaf oil, neroli oil and other plant oils. 

Terpineol, β-terpineol, γ-terpineol, and terpinen-4-ol are four isomers of terpineol. 

Terpineol is the major component.

Terpineol is a viscous liquid with pine like and clove like odor, but is easy to crystallize.

There are two methods for preparing terpineol. 

The two-step preparation process is to use α-pinene as raw material to produce terpineol through hydration under acidic conditions. 

The one-step method is to directly prepare terpineol by hydration reaction.

Terpineol is widely used in fragrance formulation, especially in soaps and synthetic detergents.

Rather than a regular terpene, terpineol is an umbrella term referring to several terpene alcohols. 

A terpene alcohol shares many characteristics with regular terpenes, plus a distinct oxygen-containing hydroxyl on one side of the chemical.

Four different monoterpenes get grouped into the term “terpineol,” each with unique differences between their scents:

Alpha-terpineol features a light, lilac-like odor reminiscent of fresh peaches.

Beta-terpineol features a woodsy scent of fresh-cut trees.

Gamma-terpineol features a citrus-leaning aroma.

Terpinen-4-ol features earthy notes with a woody overtone.

Terpineol commonly occurs in more than 150 plants, including flowers, fruits, and spices such as apples, basil, limes, lilac, grapefruit, rosemary, eucalyptus, and pine trees.

The essential oil is often used in cosmetics or skincare products, such as soap, lotion, and perfume, and is favored for Terpineol soft lilac profile. 

Terpineol can also enhance skin penetration, making Terpineol a very useful terpene for topicals and beauty products.

Terpineol often occurs in different teas, most noticeably in lapsang souchong tea with Terpineol piney, smoky aroma. 

Terpineol is also often used as a flavoring element in condiments and baked goods.

Chemically 2-(4-Methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)propan-2-ol is a monoterpene alcohol that has been isolated from a variety of sources such as cajuput oil, pine oil, and petitgrain oil. 

There are four isomers, alpha-, beta-, gamma-terpineol, and terpinen-4-ol. Beta- and gamma-terpineol differ only by the location of the double bond. 

Terpineol is usually a mixture of these isomers with alpha-terpineol as the major constituent. 

Alpha-Terpineol is one of the two most abundant aroma constituents of lapsang souchong tea;Terpineol, or more strictly, alpha-terpineol, is one of the most widespread of monocyclic monoterpenoid alcohols in nature. 

Terpineol is found in flowers such as narcissus and freesia; herbs such as sage, marjoram, oregano, and rosemary; in the leaf oil of Ti-tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and in the oil expressed from the peel of lemons. 

Reports of the level of terpineol in oils occasionally vary considerably and one wonders how much this is due to variations in the plants and to variations in the isolation process since terpineol could be an artifact. 

The layman will often describe the odor of terpineol as “pine disinfectant” since terpineol is, in fact, a major component of pine disinfectant. 

Terpineol is prepared by distillation of turpentine in the presence of an acid which results in an opening of the ring of a-pinene to produce a-terpineol. 

The driving force for the reaction comes from the release of the strain in the 4-membered ring in the a-pinene skeleton. 

The initial step in the process is the protonation of the double bond in a-pinene. 

This generates a carbocation center adjacent to the strained cyclobutane ring. 

The ring strain can be released by movement of one pair of electrons from a single bond of the cyclobutane ring towards the positive charge with the formation of a double bond. 

The resultant carbocation in the tail of the molecule can then be quenched by addition of water followed by loss of a proton), giving alpha-terpineol.  

Terpineols are monocyclic monoterpene tertiary alcohols which are naturally present in plant species. 

There are five common isomers of terpineols, alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta- and terpinen-4-ol, of which Terpineol and Terpineol isomer terpinen-4-ol are the most common terpineols found in nature. 

Terpineol plays an important role in the industrial field. 

Terpineol has a pleasant odor similar to lilacs and Terpineol is a common ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and aromatic scents. 

In addition, Terpineol attracts a great interest as Terpineol has a wide range of biological applications as an antioxidant, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antiulcer, antihypertensive, anti-nociceptive compound. 

Terpineol is also used to enhance skin penetration, and also has insecticidal properties. 

Terpineol is a transparent or a pale yellow solvent, and has unique aroma like lilac and appropriate viscosity. 

Terpineol is contained in natural oil. 

Terpineol consists of a lot of isomers which are derivatives of p-menthene.

Terpineol is a mixture which usually contains alpha-terpineol as a main constituent, and also contains beta-terpineol and gamma-terpineol as accessory constituents.

Terpineol has sometimes deposition with decreasing of temperature, because all of these three constituents have high melting point. 

Although Terpineol is insoluble in water, Terpineol has high solubility in organic solvents like alcohol, ether, ester, and high solubility of ethylcellulose, acrylate resin, epoxy resin and so on. 

Under the acidic condition, Terpineol is unstable.

On the contrary, under the basic condition, Terpineol is stable. 

Terpineol has some interfacial activities like moistness, osmosis and dispersion. 

This is one of the most commonly used solvents for electronic thick film paste

Terpineol is a monoterpene alcohol. Terpineol is one of the components responsible for the antifungal activity in Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil.

The reaction rate constant of Terpineol with the OH radical and ozone was found to be (1.9±0.5)×10-10cm3 molecule-1s-1 and (3.0±0.2)×10-16cm3 molecule-1s-1, respectively.

Alpha-terpineol is used as an antioxidant, antiseptic, antihypernociception and anti-inflammatory. 

Terpineol is also used as a solvent. 

Terpineol is an important ingredient of pine oil disinfectants. 

Further, Terpineol is used as a fragrance in perfumes, fat denaturant for soap production and synthetic flavoring agent.

Alpha-Terpineol is a valuable intermediate in the perfume industry and in making other common volatile chemicals.

Terpineol is known to be prepared in several ways.

Terpenic alcohols are normally obtained by the addition of hydrochloric acid or a lower alkanoic acid to terpenic olefins, for example formic or acetic acid, by conversion of the olefin to Terpineol hydrochloride, or ester, and then hydrolysis to the desired alcohol.

Alternatively, there are useful methods such as direct hydration of olefins using a strong cation exchange resin.

In this study, in addition to obtaining terpinehydrate as a result of hydration of Alpha-pinene and then Alphaterpineol by dehydration, studies were also carried out using ion exchange resin.

In addition, with the aim of preventing polymerization, cation exchange resin was studied in an oxygen-free environment and alpha-terpineol was obtained with a good yield.

Terpineol is a terpene alcohol that is found in natural oils such as pine oil and petitgrain (the oil from the bitter orange tree). 

Terpineol is the most common of four structural isomers; the others are β-, γ-, and 4-terpineol. 

Terpineol should not be confused with terpinol, the hydrate of terpin, a terpene diol.

Terpineol is a racemic mixture of (R)-(+)- and (S)-(–)-enantiomers. 

Both are found in nature; but the article of commerce, which is usually synthesized from α-pinene, is the racemate. 

In 1903, German chemists H. Waldbaum and O. Hüthig isolated the (+)-stereoisomer from petitgrain. 

Four years later, J. E. Teeple of New York City separated Terpineol enantiomer from long-leaf pine oil.

The lilac-like aroma of Terpineol makes Terpineol a desirable ingredient for perfumes and cosmetics. 

Terpineol has a pleasant odor similar to lilac and is a common ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavors. 

Terpineol is one of the two most abundant aroma constituents of lapsang souchong tea; the Terpineol originates in the pine smoke used to dry the tea.

(+)-Terpineol is a chemical constituent of skullcap.

Alpha-terpineol is a terpineol that is propan-2-ol substituted by a 4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl group at position 2. 

Terpineol has a role as a plant metabolite.

Terpineol is a cyclic monoterpenoid alcohol. 

Terpineol inhalation diminished mouse motility 45%. 

Terpineol displayed dose-dependent antibiotic efficacy vs S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and P. acnes, among others, particularly in Terpineol customary vehicle of tea tree oil. 

An MIC of 0.78 μL/mL was noted on Escherichia coli, with observed cell wall and membrane rupture. 

Terpineol 100 μg/disk produced significant zones of inhibition in culture of four drug-resistant Helicobacter pylori cultures. 

Moderate effects against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum malaria were noted in an EO with major terpineol component.

The small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H69 was sensitive to Terpineol at a high dose (IC50 approximately 260 μM) via suppression of NF-κB signaling (Hassan, Gali-Muhtasib, Goransson, & Larsson, 2010). 

In a U937 leukemia cell line, Terpineol reduced LPS-induced cytokine production of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, but not TNF-α.

Nociceptive behavior in mice was significantly reduced by doses of 25 mg/kg ip and above on early and late paw licking post formalin, writhing after ip acetic acid, and after paw injections of glutamate or capsaicin, without motor impairment. 

Similarly, 50–100 mg/kg ip dosing in mice inhibited hyperalgesia postcarageenan or TNF-α, PGE2, or DA administration, and neutrophil migration in a pleurisy model.

Terpineol was reported that fatty liver was produced in mice after daily injections of 10 or 500 mg/kg ip of Terpineol for 2 weeks, an exposure level likely never attainable with a cannabis-based medicine.

Two recent studies from Iran are of interest. 

Pretreatment with Terpineol 5–20 mg/kg ip significantly reduced jumping behavior typical of withdrawal effect in mice rendered morphine-dependent, while 20–40 mg/kg ip doses reduced the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia. 

These results suggest possible synergy of this ingredient with other cannabis components attenuating addiction: CBD and BCP.

Higher doses of Terpineol (50–200 mg/kg ip) in rats subjected to cerebral ischemia improved spatial learning in a water maze vs controls, restored hippocampal long-term potentiation, and lowered malondialdehyde levels indicative of lipid peroxidation. 

This activity certainly suggests the possibility of synergistic benefit in conjunction with benefits ascribed to CBD in similar experiments in newborn pigs.

(L)-alpha-Terpineol is a monoterpene alcohol. 

Terpineol is one of the components responsible for the antifungal activity of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil. 

Terpineol may be used in the synthesis of α-terpinyl esters of acetic acid and acetic anhydride via lipase-mediated esterification.

Synthesis and Biosynthesis of Terpineol:

Although Terpineol is naturally occurring, terpineol is commonly manufactured from alpha-pinene, which is hydrated in the presence of sulfuric acid.

Limonene reacts with trifluoroacetic acid in a Markovnikov addition to a trifluoroacetate intermediate, which is easily hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide to Terpineol with 7% selectivity. 

Side-products are β-terpineol in a mixture of the cis isomer, the trans isomer, and 4-terpineol.

The biosynthesis of Terpineol proceeds from geranyl pyrophosphate, which releases pyrophosphate to give the terpinyl cation. 

This carbocation is the precursor to many terpenes and terpenoids. 

Terpineol hydrolysis gives terpineol.

Manufacturing Methods of Terpineol:

A common industrial method of alpha-terpineol synthesis consists of the hydration of alpha-pinene or turpentine oil with aqueous mineral acids to give crystalline cis-terpin hydrate (mp 117 °C), followed by partial dehydration to alpha-terpineol. 

Suitable catalysts are weak acids or acid-activated silica gel.

Terpineol is used in extraction of essential oils, fractional distillation of pine oils, wood processing industry.

By heating terpin hydrate with phosphoric acid and distilling or with dilute sulfuric acid, using azeotropic separation; fractional distillation of pine oil.
