From Pine to Perfume

Abstract

CST (Crude Sulfated Turpentine) is an upcycled, biomass raw material derived from pinewood; obtained as a waste product of the Kraft process from the pulp and paper industry. The current report provides an overview of the major perfumery ingredients obtained from CST-derived alpha- and beta-pinene to-date and part of the Firmenich manufacturing portfolio, post DRT acquisition.
