Appearance

Colorless, granular-crystalline, tenacious mass.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with most oils.

Odor

Mild, oily-camphoraceous odor, with little or no 'warm-cold-feel'.

Flavor

Terpeney-camphoraceous taste, remotely resembling that of Celluloid.

Uses in perfumery

Extensively used in Pine, Lavender, Lavandin, Cedar and Citrus fragrances, particularly those of lower cost and high volatility.

Uses in flavor

Used in Spice and Nutmeg flavor compositions, partly in reconstituted spice oils.

Production

Produced from (several methods) e.g. 1) from alpha-Pinene via the Hydrochloride by alkali to Camphene. Or 2) from beta-Pinene via Nopol to Camphene (catalytic isomerization).
