Linalool is a common natural organic compound with a unique aroma. It is commonly found in many flowers and herbs such as lavender, orange blossom, and musk, among others. In addition to this, geraniol can also be obtained by synthesis.
It is a colorless liquid with a very strong aromatic flavor at room temperature.
Geraniol also has good solubility. It can be slightly soluble in water and has better solubility in organic solvents such as ethers, alcohols, and ethyl acetate. It is also able to dissolve inter-well with many single compounds and mixtures.
It has antibacterial and antioxidant properties and can be used to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. Studies have shown that geraniol may also have anti-inflammatory, sedative, and anxiolytic effects.
