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