Rhodinol



Rhodinol is a naturally occurring organic compound that belongs to the family of monoterpenols. It has a pleasant rose-like fragrance and is commonly used in the perfume and fragrance industry. Rhodinol is found in essential oils of several plants, including roses, geraniums, and citronella.

Chemically, rhodinol is also known as 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol and has the molecular formula C10H18O. It exists in two different isomeric forms, which are the cis and trans forms.

In addition to its use in the fragrance industry, rhodinol is also used in the production of insecticides and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is considered safe for use in these applications, but as with any chemical, proper handling and safety precautions should be taken.
