Linalool (Coriandrol)
Calming aroma, antimicrobial, fragrance ingredient, insect repellent, flavor agent
Linalool is one of the most abundant and widely distributed terpene alcohols in the plant kingdom, found in over 200 plant species including lavender, bergamot, rosewood, coriander, basil, and ho wood. As a purified natural isolate, linalool is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fresh, floral-woody, slightly citrusy odor with a sweet, lavender-like character. It is one of the highest-volume aroma chemicals in the flavor and fragrance industry, used as both a fragrance ingredient and as a chiral building block for the synthesis of vitamins (Vitamin E, Vitamin A) and other aroma chemicals. Fresure supplies natural linalool (ex-ho wood, ex-coriander, or ex-basil oil) and synthetic linalool, with batch-specific purity and enantiomer distribution verified by chiral GC analysis.

The single most used aroma chemical in perfumery, present in over 90% of all fine fragrance compositions. Provides a fresh, floral-woody character that blends seamlessly with virtually all fragrance types: floral (rose, muguet, lavender), citrus (bergamot, neroli), woody, and oriental compositions. Used in perfumes, colognes, soaps, detergents, and virtually all scented consumer products.
GRAS flavoring substance (FEMA GRAS 2635). Used in citrus, berry, tropical fruit, tea, and spice flavor compositions. Important natural component in beverages (especially cola and citrus drinks), confectionery, baked goods, and chewing gum. The fresh, clean character provides lift and naturalness to flavor profiles.
Demonstrated anxiolytic, sedative, and anticonvulsant effects in clinical and preclinical studies through modulation of GABA and glutamate neurotransmitter systems. Key component responsible for lavender oil's calming effects. Used in aromatherapy for stress relief, anxiety reduction, and sleep support.
Chiral starting material for the industrial synthesis of Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and Vitamin A. Intermediate in the production of linalyl acetate, geraniol, citral, ionones, and other high-volume aroma chemicals. Used as a high-boiling solvent in specialty applications.

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Linalool is susceptible to oxidation and acid-catalyzed rearrangement; minimize headspace and avoid contamination with acids. Shelf life: 2 years under recommended conditions. Monitor peroxide value in stored product.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Linalool remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
Linalool is from the . This method preserves the full spectrum of volatile aromatic compounds and bioactive constituents that define the oil''s therapeutic and sensory profile.
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the batch-specific chemical profile (GC/MS or GC-FID), physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation), and organoleptic assessment. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) is also provided. Additional documentation — including GC/MS chromatograms, pesticide residue analysis, heavy metal testing, and allergen statements — is available upon request.
