Usage

Description

RHODINYL ACETATE is a mixture of terpene alcohol acetates, primarily consisting of l-citronellyl acetate. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a characteristic, fresh, rose-like odor and an analogous taste on dilution, turning bitter when concentrated. RHODINYL ACETATE is soluble in alcohol and mineral oil but insoluble in glycerol and is combustible.

Uses

Used in Perfumery:
RHODINYL ACETATE is used as a fragrance ingredient for its fresh, rose-like odor, adding a pleasant and distinctive scent to various perfumes and colognes.
Used in Flavoring Industry:
RHODINYL ACETATE is used as a flavoring agent for its analogous taste on dilution, enhancing the flavor profiles of various food and beverage products.
Used in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
Although not explicitly mentioned in the provided materials, RHODINYL ACETATE, due to its pleasant odor and solubility properties, can also be used in the cosmetics and personal care industry as a component in the formulation of lotions, creams, and other products to provide a desirable scent and improve the sensory experience for the user.

Preparation

By acetylation of rhodinol from geranium oil.
