What does PINENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colourless, flammable compound found in pine resin and turpentine that gives many conifers their scent.
Pinene belongs to a family of compounds called terpenes, and it exists in two closely related mirror-image forms that occur in different plants and give slightly different aromas. Turpentine owes most of its familiar smell to pinene, and the compound is extracted for use in cleaning products, fragrances, and some industrial solvents. Conifer forests owe part of their characteristic scent to pinene released from needles and bark.
