linalyl acetate

Linalyl acetate is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in many flowers and spice plants.

Synthetic linalyl acetate is sometimes used as an adulterant in essential oils to make them more marketable.

Linalyl acetate and linalool are qualitatively the most important components of the bergamot oil.

Linalyl acetate is also combustible.

Main Constituents: Linalyl acetate, myrcene, linalol, and pinene among numerous others.

Lavender oil with a high percentage of linalool and linalyl acetate, in the form of capsules, was generally well tolerated.

Main Constituents: Linalyl acetate (up to 40%), linalol, lavendulol, lavandulyl acetate, and terpineol.

To create it, he used a natural violet leaf, essence of acacia flower, linalyl acetate, geraniol and citronellol (molecules found in jasmine and rose).

Treatment of these compounds with acetic acid gives geranyl acetate, neryl acetate, and linalyl acetate, respectively.

Like all essential oils, it is not a pure compound; it is a complex mixture of naturally occurring phytochemicals, including linalool and linalyl acetate.

The composition differences between these cultivars is massive, e.g. linalyl acetate in Hidcote variety is 56% but in Graves variety it is only 8%.

The main compounds in the oil are limonene, linalyl acetate, linalool, γ-terpinene and β-pinene, and in smaller quantities geranial and β-bisabolene.

The main constituents of petitgrain oil are geraniol, geranyl acetate, linalool, linalyl acetate, myrcene, nerol, neryl acetate, and terpineol.

Casabianca H, Graff JB, Faugier V, Fleig F, Grenier C (1998) Enantiomeric distribution studies of linalool and linalyl acetate.

As more than 50% of the constituents of this essence are very low or in trace form, we tend to concentrate too much on the major components like linalool 35% maximum, linalyl acetate 12% maximum and limonene 15% maximum.

The analysis of the enantiomeric distribution of various compounds, such as linalyl acetate and linalool, allows the characterization of the bergamot oil according to the manufacturing process and allows for the detection of possible adulteration.

Due to the limits for major compounds being so flexible this encourages adulteration or cutting Lavendula with acetylated Lavandin oil, fractions of cheaper Rosewood Oil or synthetic compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate.

Elettaria contains not less than 4% v/w volatile oil, the principal constituents of which are a - terpinyl acetate, cineole, limonene, sabinene, aterpinol, pcymene, apinene, nerol and linalyl acetate, together with a fixed oil and starch.
