Pinaceae - maritime pine, See-Kiefer

Tree of the Mediterranean coasts, up to 30m high; bark brown, deeply and irregularly longitudinally furrowed; branches forming a pyramidal crown; needles bright green, usually twisted, 10-20cm long by 2mm wide.

„The chromatographic analysis of the volatile leaf oil of Pinus pinaster Ait. showed 42% of monoterpene hydrocarbons (α-pinene, camphene, β-pinene, myrcene, 3-carene, limonene, cis-ocimene, terpinolene, para-cymene, 35% of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (cubebene, copaene, caryophyllene, humulene, germacrene D, α- and γ-muurolenes, δ- and γ-cadinenes) and 23% of oxygenated compounds including esters (linalyl, bornyl, geranyl, neryl and farnesyl acetates), alcohols (cis-hexenol, linalool, α-fenchol, trans-pinocarveol, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, dihydrocarveol, guaiol, junenol and α-cadinol), one aldehyde (hexenal) and one ketone (piperitone). Three non terpenoid phenylethyl esters were also identified: phenylethyl isovalerate, methyl-2-butyrate and 3,3-dimethylacrylate. Some alcohols and mainly α-terpineol and linalool seemed to be formed during the steam distillation process, they were absent when the leaf oil was obtained by maceration of small portions of leaves in the usual solvents of terpenes.“ [Identification des constituants de l'essence des aiguilles de Pinus pinaster. Pauly, G., Gleizes, M., & Bernard-Dagan, C., Phytochemistry, Vol.12(6), 1973, 1395-1398]

The highly attractive scent of P.pinaster resin exposed to the sunshine „… is certainly one of the most impressive olfactory experiences available in the coastal regions of mediterraneaen countries… the secret of this unique environmental scent are (ω-1)-macrolides such as tetradecan-13-olide and hexadecane-15-olide, accompanied by ω-macrolides such as pentadecan-15-olide and hexadecan-16-olide, togehter with the compounds responsible for the woody and resinous notes.“ [Meaningful Scents around the World, Roman Kaiser, Zürich 2006, 146-147]
