phenolic
Benzene ring derivative
Phenolic describes compounds derived from or related to phenol, a chemical building block used in plastics, resins, and disinfectants.
Phenolic resins are hard, heat-resistant materials found in electrical components, countertops, and billiard balls.
In wine tasting, phenolic refers to compounds that contribute bitterness, astringency, and color: The wine had strong phenolic notes from extended skin contact.
