GAMMA TERPINENE – citrus, spicy and fresh note with hints of lemon, coriander and citrus zest

GAMMA TERPINENE

GAMMA TERPINENE is a fresh, citrusy terpenic raw material, useful for adding liveliness to aromatic, citrus and spicy accords. Compared with CITRAL it is less lemony and more herbaceous, with a warm and slightly coriander-like nuance.

Olfactory profile

Citrusy, herbaceous and slightly spicy, with nuances of lemon, lime, coriander and citrus peel. The character is fresh but less sharp than citric aldehydes.

In formula

It is particularly useful in citrus, thyme, oregano, mint, cologne and aromatic accords. It can reinforce the terpenic component of citrus oils, add a more natural freshness and support herbal notes without making them overly medicinal.

With CITRAL it increases lemon brightness; with LINALYL ACETATE it fits well into lavender and cologne structures; with terpineol and aromatic materials it builds a more natural freshness; with spices it can add a drier, livelier effect.

How to work with it

It is a relatively volatile material and is sensitive to oxidation. It is best protected from light, air and heat and evaluated mainly in the top notes and during the first hours of the composition.

When to choose it

It is particularly suitable when a citrus-terpenic freshness is needed that is more herbaceous and natural-feeling than CITRAL or aliphatic aldehydes.

Packaging

The product is packed to order; the container may vary depending on the selected format and the characteristics of the raw material.
