introduction | nerol is a terpene alcohol. The trans isomer of geraniol. Colorless liquid. It has aromas of roses and orange blossoms, softer and more graceful than geranieres. Density 0.877-0.891. The melting point is lower than -1.5 ℃. Boiling point 226-227 ℃. 1.462 refractive index. Existed in neroli oil, rose oil, etc. |
Source | Naturally present in neroli oil, rose oil, etc., it can also be made by the action of geraniol and hydroiodic acid. Nererol and geraniol are isomers. Any essential oil containing geraniol often contains nerol at the same time, but the ratio is different. The proportions of nerol and geraniol in nerol produced by different companies are different, so the aroma is also different. |
identification test | measured by total alcohol content determination method (OT-5). The sample quantity taken is 1.2g; The equivalent factor (e) in the calculation is 77.13. |
toxicity | GRAS(FEMA). LD504500 mg/kg (rat, oral). |
usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): soft drink 1.4; Cold drink 3.9; Candy 16; Baked food 19; Pudding 1.0~1.3; Gum candy 0.80. Moderate limit (FDA § 172.515,2000). |
use | GB 2760-1996 stipulates that edible spices are allowed to be used. Mainly used to prepare fruit flavors such as raspberry, strawberry and citrus. It is the main spice for preparing orange blossom, rose and magnolia essence. It is a commonly used spice in jasmine, white flower, lilac, lilac, narcissus, carnation, shame flower, violet flower, fragrant roland, grass orchid, tuberose and citrus cologne. It is also commonly used in flavors such as hyacinth, gardenia, osmanthus, and acacia. The effect of Rubus-strawberry flavor is commonly used in edible flavors. this product is a edible spice allowed in China's GB2760-86 regulations. Mainly used to prepare fruit flavors such as strawberries, raspberries and citrus. The product is also used to prepare daily cosmetic flavors, such as violet, orange blossom, jasmine, lily of the valley, magnolia, clove and other floral cosmetic flavors. widely used in orange blossom, rose, jasmine, tuberose and other floral daily chemical essence and raspberry, grass mold flavor edible essence, can also be made into ester spices |
production method | 1. orange leaf oil is used as raw material, linalool and terpenoids are first fractionated, and the fraction containing primary alcohol is saponified to form phthalates, and then purified and alkali saponified to obtain a mixture of geraniol (60%) and nerol (40%). after removing geraniol with lead chloride, the residual liquid is distilled in vacuum or steam to obtain the finished product. 2. In a neutral solution, geraniol reacts with hydroiodic acid, removes excess hydroiodic acid with alkali, and nerol mixed with geraniol can be obtained, and then separated according to the above method. 3. Use the same amount of aromatic camphor and acetic anhydride to boil in the presence of sodium acetate. After saponification, a mixture of geraniol and nerol can be obtained, and then separated by the previous method. 4. In the isopropanol solution containing aluminum isopropoxide, citral can be reduced to obtain a mixture of geraniol and nerol, and then separated. Using orange leaf oil as raw material, first fractionate to remove linalool and terpenoids, saponification of the fraction containing primary alcohol to phthalate, and then purification and alkali saponification To obtain a mixture of geraniol (60%) and nerol (40%), after removing geraniol with lead chloride, the residual liquid is vacuum distilled or steam distilled to obtain the finished product. In a neutral solution, let geraniol interact with hydroiodic acid, and use alkali to remove excess hydroiodic acid to obtain nerol mixed with geraniol, and then separate as above. The same amount of linalool and acetic anhydride are heated to boiling in the presence of sodium acetate. After saponification, a mixture of geraniol and nerol can be obtained, and then separated by 1. method. In the isopropanol solution containing aluminum isopropoxide, citral can be reduced to obtain a mixture of geraniol and nerol, and then rectified and separated. |
