GERANIOL Usage And Synthesis
Description
Geraniol is one of the allergens of Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata). It is contained in the "fragrance mi x".
Definition
ChEBI: Geraniol is a monoterpenoid consisting of two prenyl units linked head-to-tail and functionalised with a hydroxy group at its tail end. It has a role as a fragrance, an allergen, a volatile oil component and a plant metabolite. It is a monoterpenoid, a primary alcohol and a 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol.
Contact allergens
Geraniol is an olefinic terpene, constituting the chief part of rose oil and oil of palmarosa. It is also found in many other essential oils such as citronella, lemon grass, or ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata Hook.f. and Thoms.). It is contained in most fine fragrances and in “fragrance mix.” As a fragrance allergen, geraniol has to be mentioned by name in cosmetics within the EU.
