Citronellol

What is Citronellol ?

Citronellol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H18O. It is a colorless or pale yellow oily liquid, slightly soluble in water, and mainly used in food flavorings, for formulating citrus and cherry flavorings. It is also used in the formulation of low-grade soap flavorings and as a raw material for other fragrances.

It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with aromas of lemon, lemongrass, and rose. It exists as three optically active forms: d-, l-, and dl-. D-citronellol is abundant in essential oils, being a major component of citronella oil and eucalyptus oil. In acidic media, it readily cyclizes to form menthol. It is soluble in ethanol and most non-volatile oils, slightly soluble in volatile oils and propylene glycol, and insoluble in glycerol and water.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
