English translation:synthetic isolate
Explanation:
I imagine the "trennen" part refers to "isolation" of chemicals, as described here:

"A natural isolate is a single chemical, isolated from a plant, that has a smell. Like an aromachemical. Fragrance compounds can be nature-identical (the chemical structure is exactly the same as its essential oil counterpart), or completely human-made (this chemical compound does not exist in nature). It is synthetic when it is synthesized in a lab - i.e., made, not extracted. "

"A natural isolate is a whole aromatic molecule that is fractionated through distillation or with solvents to create a stronger, simple aromatic element. Some natural perfumers use these natural isolates in small doses. Synthetic isolates are frequently used by big companies. It is not always easy to tell the difference. Usually limonene, citral, eugenol, farnesol, geranial, indole are indications of natural fragrance isolates. Words like muscone, ionone, lactone, fructone, aldehydes, damascenone, or vanillin are often indicators of synthetic aromachemicals."
