Product name: Nerol
English alias: cis-Geraniol; 3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol (cis-form); Nerolic alcohol
CAS: 106-25-2
Molecular formula: C10H18O
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet floral odor (resembling rose)
Package: 25kg/drum
Nerol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol with a sweet, fresh, rose-like aroma, commonly used in fragrance and flavor formulations. It is an isomer of Geraniol, with the double bond in the cis configuration, giving it a distinct and softer scent. Nerol occurs naturally in essential oils such as neroli, lemongrass, and hops, and is widely appreciated for its mildness and pleasant fragrance.
This ingredient is commonly used in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products due to its skin-friendly profile. Additionally, Nerol also finds use as an intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and in natural insect repellent formulations.
The molecular formula of Nerol is C10H18O, and it typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid.
Number | Item | Specification | Result |
1 | Appearance | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | Pale yellow liquid |
2 | Purity (%) | ≥96.0 | 97.45 |
3 | Refractive Index | 1.470 – 1.478 | 1.475 |
4 | Relative Density | 0.866 – 0.874 | 0.87 |
5 | Acid Value (mg KOH/g) | ≤1.0 | 0.4 |
6 | Optical Rotation | -10° to -20° | -15.3° |
Conclusion | PASS |
Nerol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in appropriate quantities in fragrance and flavor applications. However, it may cause mild skin irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals. Patch testing is advised before use in leave-on products. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly, although care must be taken to avoid high concentrations in aquatic environments.
