About Citronellol

Citronellol (CAS 106-22-9) is an aroma chemical offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade with a typical assay of 95%. Its molecular formula is C10H20O and its molecular weight is 156.26 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-ol. Alternative names: β-Rhodinol and (S)-3,7-Dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol.

The material typically appears as a clear colourless liquid. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for flavour formulation, fragrance compounding and aroma research. Typical end-use sectors are food and beverage processing and cosmetics and personal care.

Standard pack sizes are 100 g, 500 g, 5 kg and 4 x 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
