Beta-pinene) is a monoterpene, an organic compound found in plants. It is one of the two isomers of pinene, the other being -pinene. It is colorless liquid soluble in alcohol, but not water. It has a woody-green pine-like smell.
Beta-Pinene is a colorless liquid, soluble in oils and insoluble in water and ethanol, with a boiling point between 163 and 166 C. Beta-Pinene is an important intermediate in the production of citral, citronellol, geraniol, citronellal, linalool, ionones, and menthol, being mainly applied in bakery products, candy, and chilled dairy products.
Beta-Pinene represent 75 to 90% of essential oils from conifers and can be found in concentrations in the range from 15 to 30%, respectively, in turpentine, a byproduct of the paper and cellulose industry.
Beta-Pinene is usually found in lower percentages than is -pinene in several essential oils, and this fact might corroborate the fact that few studies explore their biological activities.
Beta-pinene is a common constituent of several essential plant oils.
