WHAT DOES CAMPHENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Camphene

Camphene is bicyclic monoterpene. It is nearly insoluble in water, but very soluble in common organic solvents. It volatilizes readily at room temperature and has a pungent smell. It is a minor constituent of many essential oils such as turpentine, cypress oil, camphor oil, citronella oil, neroli, ginger oil, and valerian. It is produced industrially by catalytic isomerization of the more common alpha-pinene. Camphene is used in the preparation of fragrances and as a food additive for flavoring. Its mid-19th century use as a fuel for lamps was limited by its explosiveness.

Definition of camphene in the English dictionary

The definition of camphene in the dictionary is a colourless crystalline insoluble optically active terpene derived from pinene and present in many essential oils. Formula: C10H16.
