Gamma-terpinene, also known as gamma-terpinene, is one of the major terpenes, a group of organic elements found in many plants. It has a unique composition and structure that gives it various properties. Its chemical formula is C10H16 and it is widely used, especially in the perfume and essential oil industries. Gamme-terpinene is naturally present, for example, in citrus fruits such as grapefruit and orange, or in their peel.

Its refreshing citrus aroma is one of the reasons why gamma-terpinene is used in a wide range of products. It is most commonly used in cosmetics and personal fragrance production as well as in the manufacture of cleaning and disinfecting products. In addition, gamma-terpinene is also found in some types of medicinal herbs where it can enhance their medicinal properties. In medicine, its potential anti-cancer effects are being studied. Interestingly, gamma-terpinene is also naturally present in tobacco.
