Ltd., Bangalore, India, You can also search for this author in Geraniol, citronellol and their esters are high-value acyclic monoterpenes used in food technology, perfumery and cosmetics. Effectiveness of citronella preparations in preventing mosquito bites: systematic review of controlled laboratory experimental studies. It has been also shown that nerol is converted to linalool and -terpineol and linalool is also converted to -terpineol (King and Dickinson 2000, 2003). The BASF menthol process utilizes (+)- (R)- citronellal which can be produced from either geraniol or nerol by chiral catalytic hydrogenation to (+)- (R)-citronellol (Ref. It may also prevent flies and ticks from biting you to some degree. As geranic acid (Sanekata, et al. In both cultures, citronellol increased within 8 d and then decreased after 10 d, and geranic acid and citronellic acid were almost not produced within 2-d cultivation.
