GeraniolWhat is Geraniol?Geraniol is a 10-carbon monoterpene-alcohol naturally occurring in plants such as rose and lemongrass. Due to its rose-like scent, it has a long history of usage approved by FDA in the fragrance and food industry. In recent years, potential usages of geraniol start expanding to biofuel, organic insect repellent and tumor suppressor. Currently, geraniol is commercially available through extraction mainly from plants. However, it is an inefficient model for geraniol production, as geraniol represents only a small portion of the plant biomass. |
