Chemical compound
Linalool (/lɪˈnæloʊɒl,laɪ-,-loʊoʊl,-ˈluːl/) refers to two enantiomers of a naturally occurring terpene alcohol found in many flowers and spice plants.[1] Linalool has multiple commercial applications, the majority of which are based on its pleasant scent (floral, with a touch of spiciness).[2][3] A colorless oil, linalool is classified as an acyclic monoterpenoid.[1] In plants, it is a metabolite, a volatile oil component, an antimicrobial agent, and an aroma compound.[1] Linalool has uses in manufacturing of soaps, fragrances, food additives as flavors, household products, and insecticides.[1] Esters of linalool are referred to as linalyl, e.g. linalyl pyrophosphate, an isomer of geranyl pyrophosphate.[4]
The word linalool is based on linaloe (a type of wood) and the suffix -ol.[5] In food manufacturing, it may be called coriandrol.[1]
