Linalyl octanoate

Description:

Linalyl octanoate is an ester formed from linalool and octanoic acid, characterized by its pleasant floral and fruity aroma, making it a popular choice in the fragrance and flavor industries. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its low toxicity and is generally recognized as safe for use in food and cosmetic applications. Linalyl octanoate exhibits properties typical of esters, such as volatility and a relatively low boiling point. Its chemical structure contributes to its ability to act as a flavoring agent and fragrance component, often used in perfumes, soaps, and various personal care products. Additionally, it may possess antimicrobial properties, which can enhance its utility in formulations. As with many esters, it is important to handle linalyl octanoate with care, ensuring proper storage and usage to maintain its stability and effectiveness in applications.
