Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi All, Is natural linalool able to be purchased (as just the constituent)? Or, for those of you who use it in your perfume formulas, do you rely on an essential oil high in linalool? I've searched and am coming up short. Tammy Hi Tammy, I just ran into linalool last weekend at http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com They list it in their Raw Materials section, along with indole and other isolates and synthetics. So I'm wondering myself if theirs is an isolate or a synthetic -- I couldn't find any place where they specifically said one or the other, and I'd like to assume it's an isolate, but won't. You could contact them and ask. I have NOT purchased anything from them, so this is NOT an endorsement. I only just found them. Here's a <snip> of what they say about their linalool (there's more): Organoleptics : odor type : floral odor strength : Medium odor description : fresh floral sweet woody green natural taste description¹ : At 10.00 ppm. Citrus, orange, lemon, floral, waxy, aldehydic and woody substantivity : 12 Hour(s) appearence : colorless clear liquid assay : 99.00 - 100.00 % specific gravity : 0.85800 - 0.86700 @ 25.00 °C. 7.139 - 7.214 pounds per gallon refractive index : 1.45980 - 1.46050 @ 20.00 °C. optical rotation : -2.00 to +2.00 boiling point : 194.00 - 197.00 °C. @ 760.00 mm boiling point : 117.00 - 118.00 °C. @ 50.00 mm acid value : 1.00 max. KOH/g Safety : most important hazards : Xi - Irritant flash point ( Deg. F. ) : 169.00 °F. TCC ( 76.11 °C. ) recommendation for usage levels up to : 8.0000 % in the fragrance concentrate. recommendation for usage levels up to : 40.0000 ppm in the flavor. safety in use information : Critical Effect: Sensitization. Fragrance Material Specification: Limit peroxide level to 20 mmol/l. Linalool and natural products known to be rich in linalool, such as bois de rose, coriander or ho wood oil, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level. It is recommended to add antioxidants at the time of production of the raw material. The addition of 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol for example has shown great efficiency. The maximum peroxide level for products in use should be 20 mmol/l. Hope this helps! Chemically? Andrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
