LINALYL PROPIONATE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Linalyl propionate has a sweet, floral odor reminiscent of bergamot oil and a sweet taste reminiscent of black currant (also pear and pineapple). May be synthesized by esterification of linalool with propionic acid or propionic anhydride.

Chemical Properties

Linalyl propionate has a sweet, floral odor reminiscent of bergamot oil and a sweet taste reminiscent of black currant (also pear and pineapple).

Chemical Properties

Linalyl Propionate is a liquid with a fresh bergamot note, reminiscent of lily of the valley. It is used in perfumery in, for example, bergamot, lavender, and lily of the valley compositions.

Occurrence

Reported found in orange, lemon and kumquat peel oils, bergamot oil and cherimoya. The l-form has been reported found in lavender and sage.

Uses

Linalyl propionate is widely used in perfume compositions, not only as a support to Bergamot-notes, but in general as a sweet fresh additive in Citrus fragrances, light florals, herbaceous types or Ambre bases. It blends excellently with Clary Sage and Bergamot for Fougere opnotes, and introduces soft sweet notes as background for the middle notes of Muguet, Lilac, Freesia and many other floral types. The ester finds use in flavor compositions, partly as a sweetener, partly as fruity back-ground in imitation Banana, Blackcurrant, Redcurrant, Orange, Pear, Pineapple, and in “Tutti-frutti” etc. Concentration is normally about 3 to 12 ppm in the finished product.

Definition

ChEBI: Linalyl propionate is a monoterpenoid.

Preparation

By esterification of linalool with propionic acid or propionic anhydride.

General Description

Linalyl propionate occurs naturally in green tea and essential oil of Annona muricata fresh fruit pulp.
