What is L-BORNYL ACETATE?
Description
(+)-Bornyl acetate is the acetate ester of (+)-borneol, a natural terpene derivative. The (–)-enantiomer is also found in nature. Both esters are found in oils extracted from the needles of conifers in the Pinaceae family.
Bornyl acetate’s “piney” aroma makes it a common ingredient of perfumes used in air fresheners, cleaners, and personal care products. It is reported to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibiotic, and sedative properties. The US Food and Drug Administration lists it as an active ingredient in over-the-counter cough and cold medications.
This Christmas Eve, you can be sure that your tree’s aroma is largely attributable to the presence of bornyl acetate.
