कपूर, whose IUPAC name is 1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, is a terpenoid organic compound with a chemical formula of C10H16O. It is a white or transparent waxy solid at room temperature and can be used to repel insects. कपूर is extracted from the trunk of कपूर tree. The older the कपूर tree, the more कपूर is in it. The extraction method is to cut the tree trunk into small pieces and distill it with water. After the कपूर oil is heated, it rises with water vapor, and it can form कपूर when it comes into contact with the pottery jar placed above to cool it. In the early days of northern Taiwan, the mountain forests were mostly primitive कपूर forests, and many old कपूरपेड़ एक हजार साल से अधिक पुराने थे। बाद में, जापान सरकार ने बड़ी मात्रा में कटौती कीकपूर for export in Taiwan. Therefore, Taiwan's कपूर export once reached the first place in the world.
