Summary: Turpentine is used to manufacture a wide range of chemicals such as terpineol, synthetic camphor and synthetic borneol among others

Anize oil contains thymol, terpineol and anethole, which are thought to help with cough and flu cases.

As can be seen in Figure 3, extraction efficiency of the VOCs increased 1.5-fold for the two pinene types and eucalyptol while those of terpineol and terpinyl acetate increased about 2.5 to 4.5 at 65[degrees]C compared to the 20[degrees]C (room temperature).

Furthermore, [alpha] terpineol, [beta]-pinene, and p-cymene are only present in our sample and that of Saudi Arabia.

Chemical homonymy occurs when the same name can refer to different chemicals [e.g., the generic name Terpineol can refer to various stereoisomers or salts of the parent compound, 2-(4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)propan-2-ol].

The essential oil of Loukkos is characterized by the presence of pulegone as main constituent with a content of (82.40%); the latter is followed by the terpineol acetate (4.39%) and the isopulegone (3.23%).Other compounds are also identified but at relatively low percentages such as the piperitenone (1.65%), camphene (1.43%), humulene (1.01%) (Table1).

Its main constituents are terpenes, geraniol, terpineol, volatile oil and myristicin.

In contrast, citral had a depressor effect of conduction velocity at a dose of 3 [micro]g/mL (equivalent concentration to 20 [micro]M), which is lower than that for eugenol (60 [micro]M), terpineol (300 [micro]M) and estragole (2,000 [micro]M) (9-11).
