General description

Terpinolene is a volatile monoterpene that occurs naturally in sage, rosemary and carrot.

Application


  • Based on HPLC and HS-GC-IMS Techniques, the Changes in the Internal Chemical Components of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. Fruit at Different Harvesting Periods Were Analyzed.: This study utilized high-performance liquid chromatography and headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry to examine changes in internal chemical components, including terpinolene, of Schisandra chinensis during various harvest periods, offering insights into optimal harvest timing for maximum chemical efficacy (Sun et al., 2024).

  • Exogenous methyl jasmonate treatment induced the transcriptional responses and accumulation of volatile terpenoids in Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC.: Research focused on the effect of methyl jasmonate on the accumulation of volatile terpenoids, such as terpinolene, in Oenanthe javanica, demonstrating enhanced production of these compounds which are critical for plant defense mechanisms (Feng et al., 2024).
