Layman's explanation:
In 1938 in Velingrad, a state-owned, experimental terpene plant had been established and its aim was to develop resin extraction from the woods, and also start production of rosin and turpentine. Alpha-pinene is a terpene hydrocarbon, found mostly in balmic resin, pine woods and some citrus fruits. It is a natural product obtained from turpentine oils. Alpha-pinene is separated from the oil via vacuum rectification. Major uses of alpha-pinene are as a flavor and fragrance that gives a pine-like taste and odor. It is a basis for preparing various types of perfume products, esters, and other terpene hydrocarbons.
