Description

Geraniol (CAS 106-24-1 ), also recognized by its FEMA number 2507 , is a naturally derived terpene alcohol sourced from rose, citronella, and palmarosa essential oils. It functions as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent across personal care, food, and industrial applications. In personal care and cosmetics, geraniol imparts a fresh, floral-rose character to perfumes, lotions, soaps, and hair care products. It also contributes to surface-active behavior in formulation systems for various consumer goods. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as an approved flavoring agent to deliver citrus and rose notes in confectionery, beverages, and baked goods. In flavor compound blending, it serves as a key building block for producing citronellol and citral. Printing and packaging applications utilize its reactive alcohol functionality in UV-curable and cross-linking resin systems. This is particularly useful in industrial settings where controlled reactivity is required for high-performance coatings. Geraniol is supplied as a pale yellow to colorless liquid in both natural and synthetic grades. Standard specifications include food-grade ( FCC -compliant) and fragrance-grade material for diverse manufacturing needs. Purity levels typically range from 95% to 98%+, ensuring high quality for sensitive applications. Bulk quantities are available in drums and IBCs, with smaller packaging options for laboratory and formulation use. Contact us for supply of Geraniol Request Quote
