General description

Α-Terpinyl acetate, a monoterpene ester, is a commercially important fragrance molecule. It can be prepared from α-pinene in the presence of H-beta zeolite catalysts. The essential oils obtained from Stachys setifera ssp. iranica, Chamaecyparis obtuse leaves and Thymus willkomii contain Α-terpinyl acetate as one of the main components.

Application


  • Eucalyptus Oils Phytochemical Composition in Correlation with Their Newly Explored Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Potential: in Vitro and in Silico Approaches.: This research evaluates the antiviral potential of Eucalyptus oils, including α-terpinyl acetate, highlighting its role in combating SARS-CoV-2 through various biochemical mechanisms and suggesting its utility in therapeutic formulations (El-Shiekh RA et al., 2024).

  • Systematic analysis of antimicrobial activity, phytochemistry, and in silico molecular interaction of selected essential oils and their formulations from different Indian spices against foodborne bacteria.: Investigates the antimicrobial properties of essential oils containing α-terpinyl acetate, underscoring its effectiveness against foodborne pathogens and its potential in food safety applications (Gupta N et al., 2023).
