Application
Geraniol and its ester derivatives are widely used in daily fragrances as the main ingredient in rose-based perfumes. They are also applied in fruit-flavored fragrances (such as strawberry, peach, apple, orange, and pineapple) and food flavorings (like ginger and cinnamon). Additionally, geraniol serves as a precursor in the synthesis of geraniol esters (e.g., geranyl acetate, geranyl formate), citral, vanillin, citronellol, vitamin A, ionones, and hydroxycitronellal.
Beyond perfumery, geraniol has applications in:
Pharmaceuticals: Used in the treatment of chronic bronchitis.
Repellents: Acts as a mosquito repellent ingredient.
Antimicrobials: Functions as an antibacterial agent.
Tobacco: Serves as a cigarette additive
