Overview

Terpenes are a diverse class of naturally occurring compounds found in the essential oils of many plants. They are widely used in fragrance, flavoring, and cleaning products due to their pleasant aromatic properties and solvent capabilities. Terpenes possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, making them valuable in health and personal care products. In industrial settings, terpenes are employed as solvents for coatings, adhesives, and cleaning products. Their renewable, plant-derived nature makes them an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic solvents in various applications.
