General description

γ-Terpinene is a monoterpene hydrocarbon present in essential oils extracted from Thymus vulgaris L., and exhibits antimicrobial, carminative and expectorant activities.

Application

γ-Terpinene has been used as a standard in the determination of γ-terpinene, present in tea tree oil extracted from various parts of Melaleuca alternifolia tree and analyzed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry(GC-MS).
γ-Terpinene may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in Thymus vulgaris L. oil samples using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
