The building blocks that comprise Terpinator act as pre-cursors to plant oil production. By employing naturally occurring plant and biological compounds, unique enzymatic pathways within a plant’s body are utilised through Terpinator to enhance the production of terpenoids and plant oils. Some types of plant oils have terpenoids, or compounds that contain very interesting odour molecules. Terpenoids are molecular compounds that consist of repeating units of a 5-carbon structure called isoprene. Many plants incorporate aromatic compounds that produce a plethora of odours that have been long thought to affect our physiology through odour activation (aromatherapy).

Two of these odour molecules are limonene and mycrene. These occur in a wide variety of oil producing plants, and can be described to smell like lemons and grapefruit respectively. Many researchers have been aware of the power of odour chemistry to affect our moods, for example, many people describe a feeling of sunny happiness when smell limonene. These types of compounds end up in the glands that inhibit the skin of plants, and can create biological affects in our bodies when ingested. For example, the plant oils in mint can cause a feeling of relaxation when taken as a cup of tea. Terpenoids also have a long history of being antimicrobial, capable of destroying or inhibiting the growth of disease causing microbes and preventing infections. Terpinator also catalyses steps in a plants normal metabolism that will protect, and prolong fragrances of your plants dried fruit and flowers.
