The invention is directed to methods of producing alkoxylated or hydroxylated terpenes comprising the steps of continuously passing a solution comprising an alcohol in combination with a terpene over an acidic resin catalyst in a packed bed reactor in order to yield a product, as well as compounds that are the products of the methods described herein. L'invention concerne des procédés de production de terpènes alcoxylés ou hydroxylés comprenant les étapes consistant à faire passer en continu une solution comprenant un alcool en combinaison avec un terpène sur un catalyseur de résine acide dans un réacteur à lit tassé afin de produire un produit, ainsi que des composés qui sont les produits des procédés décrits ici.
