Geranyl acetate Usage And Synthesis


Description

Geranyl acetate, used in numerous essential oils, is one of the most important natural fragrances. It is a colorless organic liquid with a sweet fruity or citrus top-note aroma. It can be used in soaps, creams, and in food as a fragrant and flavoring agent, in over 60 flavors including rose, lavender, carrot, lemongrass, peach, citronella, and many more. It is a major constituent of lime oil, with great economic importance. In addition, its antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects have been investigated. It has been found safe for food use by the FDA.

Description

Geranyl acetate has a pleasant, flowery odor reminiscent of rose lavender. It has a burning taste, initially somewhat bitter and then sweet. It is produced from geraniol by acetylation or by fractional distillation of essential oils in which it is present.

Chemical Properties

Geranyl acetate has a pleasant, fowery odor reminiscent of rose lavender It has a burning taste, initially somewhat bitter and then sweet.

Chemical Properties

Geranyl Acetate occurs in varying amounts in many essential oils: up to 60% in oils from Callitris and Eucalyptus species and up to 14% in palmarosa oil. A smaller amount occurs in, for example, geranium, citronella, petitgrain, and lavender oils. Geranyl acetate is a liquid with a fruity rose note, reminiscent of pear and slightly of lavender. It is used frequently in perfumery not only to create floral, fruity nuances (e.g., rose) but also for citrus and lavender notes. A small amount is added to fruit aromas for shading.

Chemical Properties

Clear, colorless liquid; odor of lavender. Soluble in alcohol and ether; insoluble in water and glycerol. Combustible.

Uses

Perfumery, flavoring

Preparation

From geraniol by acetylation or by fractional distillation of essential oils in which it is present.

Definition

ChEBI: A monoterpenoid that is the acetate ester derivative of geraniol.

Aroma threshold values

Detection: 9 to 460 ppb.

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: green, foral, fruity with a citrus nuance.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid with an odor of lavender.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Geranyl acetate should be protected from light. Geranyl acetate reacts with strong oxidizing agents.

Fire Hazard

Geranyl acetate is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion. A human skin irritant. Mutation data reported. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS.

Purification Methods

Purify the fragrant smelling geranyl acetate by fractional distillation at as high a vacuum as possible. It is very soluble in EtOH but insoluble in H2O. [Beilstein 2 H 140, 2 I 65, 2 II 153, 2 III 299, 2 IV 204.]
