Raw Materials for Phellandrene Production
According to the Phellandrene production plant project report, the major raw material for Phellandrene production includes Eucalyptus dives.
Production Process of Phellandrene
The extensive Phellandrene production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from Eucalyptus Dives: This method of production involves the isolation of phellandrene (particularly its L-form) from the essential oils obtained from the leaves of the Eucalyptus dives plant. In this method, the extraction is done through steam distillation, which involves passing steam through the plant material and transporting the essential oils with it, followed by condensation and collection of steam and oil mixture. Further, the crude extract undergoes a purification process through fractionation and chromatography to separate L-phellandrene from other compounds.
Phellandrenes are a pair of two organic molecules that share a similar molecular structure and similar chemical structure. Both α- and β-phellandrene are double-bond isomers of cyclic monoterpenes. The molecular formula of alpha/beta-phellandrene is C10H16, and its molar mass is 136.23 g/mol. The IUPAC name of alpha-phellandrene is 2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylcyclohexa-1,3-diene and beta-phellandrene is 3-methylidene-6-propan-2-ylcyclohexene. The flash point of beta-phellandrenes is 120 °F, and the melting point of alpha-phellandrene is 249.00 °C. The compound does not get dissolved in water.
