B.P. 304°C. Sp.Gr. 0.88. | [Uses]
Geranyl caprylate could find some use in flavor compositions, e. g. in the tropical fruit imitations:
Mango, Passionfruit, Pineapple, etc. | [Production Methods]
Geranyl caprylate can be produced by direct esterification of Geraniol
with Octanoic acid under azeotropic conditions, and using a sulfonic acid type catalyst. |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Aroma]
Geranyl caprylate has sweet, oily-herbaceous, overall rosy odor
with fruity undertones, remotely reminiscent
of Apricot and Mango.
Sweet, somewhat oily-fruity taste of considerable power. Pleasant only at concentrations below 5 ppm, rather 2 or 1 ppm. |
