Alpha-Terpineol is a fragrance ingredient used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, toilet soaps, and other toiletries as well as in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents. Its use worldwide is in the region of 100–1000 metric tonnes per annum. Alpha terpineol, a volatile monoterpenoid alcohol, is a major component of the essential oil of many plants and has been reported to enhance the permeability of skin to lipid soluble compounds.Alpha-terpineol show a broad spectrum of antifungal activity against some citrus postharvest pathogens such as Penicillium italicum and Penicillium digitatum. Alpha-terpineol has been shown to possess antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity. Alpha terpineol has been described to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activities
