The other class of acrylic compatible tackifiers includes those based on ter-penes. Terpenes are monomers obtained by wood extraction or directly from pine tree sap. To make the polyterpene tackifiers, the monomers have to be polymerized under cationic conditions, typically with Lewis acid catalysis. To adjust properties such as solubility parameter and softening point, other materials such as styrene, phenol, limonene (derived from citrus peels), and others may be copolymerized with the terpenes. 

Crude turpentine is distilled to obtain refined products used in the fragrance and flavour industry. Only the unsaturated mono- and bicyclic terpenes are of interest for resin production. These are mainly a-pinene, p-pinene and dipentcne (D,L-limonene) (Fig. 17). D-Limonene is obtained by extraction of orange peel in citrus fruits.

Limonene (10) was the major extracted compound from pine resin (Pinus pinea). Since it occurs in other resins or plants it cannot be a biomarker. Longifolene (49), present in a lower amount, is more characteristic of a conifer resin. This sesquiterpene is particularly...

Consider using naturally extracted solvents like pine oil and d-limonene for environmentally friendly products. 

The three main platform molecules employed in terpene chemistry are a-pinene and / -pinene, which are extracted from turpentine oil (350000 t a-1) a co-product of paper pulp industry, and limonene extracted from citrus oil (30000 t a-1). 

Although most consumers appreciate the fieriness of chile, capsaicinoids are not perceived through odor or taste receptors but through the nociceptive pain receptors described earlier. The compounds in chile fruit that create the flavor and aroma are produced in the fruit wall. Buttery et al. [90] generated vacuum steam distilled oil from green bell pepper macerate, with well over 40 peaks on subsequent GC/MS analysis. Of these peaks, the major flavor compound associated with bell pepper aroma was 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine (Fig. 8.1). They also reported several monoterpenoids in abundance, limonene, trans- 3-ocimene, and linalool as well as other aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. The flavor composition of dried red bell pepper powder (sweet paprika) extracted with ether identified 44 key peaks by GC/MS [91]. In these dried samples the key compounds were P-ionone and several furanones. The post-harvest processing and the different fruit maturities as well as possible varietal differences are all causes for the different aromatic profiles. 

In the search for environmentally benign chemicals that might deter birds such as starlings, crows, or pigeons from roosting en masse, spices and herbs such as rosemary, cumin, and thyme look promising. In some experiments, the birds feet were immersed in oil extracts of the spices. Starlings also avoided perches treated with starch mixes of (R)-limonene, (S)-limonene, (3-pinene, or methiocarb. The first three occur in rosemaiy, cumin, and thyme (Clark, 1997).

More recently, several aroma compounds were isolated from cupuacu pulp by vacuum distillation, solid-phase extraction, and simultaneous steam distil-lation-extarction and were analysed by GC, GC-MS, and GG-O [8]. The olfaction of the extracts obtained by solid-phase extraction indicated linalool, a-ter-pineol, 2-phenylethanol, myrcene, and limonene as contributors of the pleasant floral flavour. In this study, the esters ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl hexanoate, and butyl butanoate were involved in the typical fruity characteristics. 

Analysis of Spray Dried Samples. Moisture content was determined in duplicate via toluene distillation and total volatile oil by Clevenger (l ). Surface oil was measured by Soxhlet extraction (2). Shelf-life was determined by gas chromatography (6) the end of shelf-life was the time taken (at 37 C storage) to reach a limonene epoxide concentration of 2 mg/g oil. 

TERPENELESS OIL. An essential oil from which the teqoene components have been removed by extraction and fractionation, either alone or in combination. The optical activity of the oil is thus reduced. The terpene-less grades are much more highly concentrated than the original oil (15—30 times). Removal of terpenes is necessary to inhibit spoilage, particularly of oils derived from citrus sources. O11 atmospheric oxidation the specific terpenes form compounds that impair the value of the oil for example, d-limonene oxidazes to carvone and y-terpinene to p-cymene. Terpeneless grades of citrus oils are commercially available. 

This is extracted from the peel of the fruit of Citrus limomm by pressure, either manual or mechanical. 11 is a pale yellow, sometimes slightly greenish liquid with the smell of fresh lemons in time it resinifies, decolorises and acquires a special resinous odour. It consists mostly (about 90%) of limonene and contains also small proportions of other terpenes, citral (which determines its value, as it contributes largely to the aroma) and other aldehydes and traces of esters.
