Turpentine Oil is a volatile essential oil distilled from the resin of pine trees (primarily Pinus species). It is a colorless to pale yellow fluid with a strong, distinctive odor, composed mainly of terpenes such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. Traditionally used as a solvent and medicinal agent, turpentine oil has broad applications across industrial, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors. Its natural origin and unique chemical profile also make it valuable in fragrance, flavoring, and organic synthesis.
