Characteristics

gamma-Terpinene P&F has a characteristic lemon odour of rather low tenacity.  In comparison to alpha-Terpinene, it has warmer, less pronounced lemon notes.  At concentrations >40ppm it has a slightly bitter, herbaceous and citrus-like taste.  In lower concentrations, pleasant citrusy notes prevail.  To inhibit oxidation, synthetic dl-alpha-Tocopherol is added to a concentration of 1,000 parts-per-million.
