Longifolene
CSV05
It is a colourless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a
characteristic woody, resinous odour, primarily composed of tricyclic
sesquiterpenes obtained from the distillation of pine resin, particularly from Pinus
longifolia and other coniferous species. Longifolene is widely used in the fragrance,
incense, resin, and chemical synthesis industries for its unique aroma,
fixative properties, and as a precursor in the manufacture of synthetic amber
and other terpene derivatives.
We are the Most Reliable, Reputable, & Trusted Manufacturer, Supplier, and Exporter of Longifolene in India. Our product is extracted and purified under strict quality protocols, ensuring high sesquiterpene content, consistent viscosity, and full compliance with international perfumery and industrial standards.

All About
Longifolene – High-Purity Sesquiterpene for Fragrance, Flavor & Chemical
Applications
Longifolene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene
hydrocarbon derived from the distillation of pine resin, particularly from Pinus
longifolia (now Pinus roxburghii). Known for its woody, resinous,
and mildly sweet aroma, Longifolene is a valuable component in fragrance
compositions, flavourings, and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. It
appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a high boiling point and
excellent chemical stability.
Due to its natural origin and low toxicity, it is widely
used in cosmetics, industrial perfumery, speciality resins, and pharmaceutical
intermediates.
What Is
Longifolene Made From?
Longifolene is extracted through the fractional distillation
of oleoresin or turpentine oil obtained from pine trees, especially from the Indian
Chir Pine species. The process isolates the C15 hydrocarbon fraction,
resulting in a pure sesquiterpene compound with a stable molecular structure
and a distinct resinous scent.
It is typically characterised by:
- Boiling Point: ~254–260°C
- Specific Gravity: ~0.92–0.94
- Refractive Index: ~1.498–1.505

6. Insect Repellent Formulations
Acts as a natural component in botanical repellents and pest control products.
7. Cosmetic Raw Material
Incorporated in skin and hair care for fragrance and base-building.
8. Industrial Solvents & Cleaners
Employed in technical-grade solvents with a natural terpene profile.
9. Research & Pharma Intermediates
Used in R&D for bioactive compounds and sesquiterpene derivatives.
Precautions
& Safe Use of Longifolene
Although a natural product, proper precautions are advised:
- Use only in formulated or industrial settings.
- Avoid direct inhalation or contact in concentrated form.
- Not recommended for ingestion unless food-grade and
GRAS-compliant.
- Refer to MSDS and technical documentation before use.
