a colorless, oily, transparent liquid with a fragrance similar to that of fresh lily of the valley. The boiling point is 198~199 °c, and the flash point is 78 °c. a-linalool is the main component of natural linalool oil, Galea oil, lemon oil and other plant essential oils, and is the levorotatory isomer; B- linalool is the main component of the oil, it is a dextrorotatory isomer. The relative density of B- linalool was 0.8733 and the specific optical rotation was 19.3. a-linalool has a relative density of 0.8622 and a specific optical rotation of -20.1.
linalool is present in a variety of essential oils. At present, there are two main methods for preparing linalool, one is obtained by separating linalool oil and other plant essential oils, and the main one is the levorotatory isomer, and the other is prepared by pinene.
can be used as a natural flavor.
