Linalool has become a staple in the flavor and fragrance industry, prized for its fresh, floral, and slightly citrusy scent. With the clean-label trend driving demand for natural ingredients, this monoterpene alcohol is increasingly sought after for applications in personal care, household products, and food and beverage. Its versatility and pleasant aroma make it a key component in a wide range of consumer goods.

Naturally occurring in over 200 plant species, linalool is a major constituent of essential oils such as lavender, coriander, and rosewood. Commercially, it is produced either by fractional distillation of these oils or through fully synthetic routes. The synthetic route typically involves the reaction of acetylene with acetone, followed by hydrogenation and subsequent isomerization, yielding a high-purity product that matches the sensory profile of the natural isolate.

LyvBio supplies Linalool with a minimum assay of 98.0% (GC), ensuring consistent quality for demanding formulations. Whether you require natural or synthetic grade, our product is manufactured under strict quality control and is available in bulk quantities to support your production needs.

Product Overview & Composition

Linalool is an acyclic monoterpene alcohol with the molecular formula C10H18O. It exists as two enantiomers: (R)-(-)-linalool, which is more prevalent in lavender and sweet basil, and (S)-(+)-linalool, found in coriander and sweet orange. The commercial product is typically a racemic mixture or enriched in one enantiomer, depending on the source. This chiral composition can influence olfactory properties and is often specified by customers for specific applications.

Our Linalool is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic floral odor. It is miscible with most organic solvents and has a relatively low viscosity. The product is stable under normal storage conditions but should be protected from light and moisture to maintain its quality over time.
