Caryophyllene alcohol Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties
Colorless clear liquid; spicy, moss, earthy aroma.
Occurrence
Reported found in pepper oil black India (0.10%), lime oil distilled Mexico (0.07%), and lime oil distilled Peru (0.06%).
Preparation
Both isomers are obtained from caryophyllene. Ether solution of caryophyllene is treated with an ether solution of sulfuric acid monohydrate under cooling to prevent the temperature from rising above 10°C; after alkalinization of the solution, the β-caryophyllene alcohol is distilled off. From the residue where it is present as an ester, the α-caryophyllene alcohol is distilled after the ether solution has been made acid once again.
Aroma threshold values
Medium strength odor, spicy type.
