4-Isopropyltoluene / p-CYMENE

p-Cymene is a naturally occurring aromatic organic compound found in various essential oils such as cumin and thyme oils. It is used in fragrances, flavorings, and as an intermediate in chemical syntheses. In food, it occurs as a minor component and is generally recognized as safe in low concentrations. However, inhalation or high exposure can cause respiratory irritation and potential neurotoxicity in animal studies.
