The Role of Citronellol in Flavors and Aromas: A Taste of Nature
Citronellol (CAS 106-22-9) is more than just a fragrant compound; it's also a valued flavoring agent that adds subtle, pleasant notes to a variety of food and beverage products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies high-purity Citronellol essential for crafting authentic and appealing flavors.
As a monoterpenoid alcohol, Citronellol imparts distinct flavor characteristics that are often described as floral, citrusy, or slightly fruity, reminiscent of rose, peach, or berry. This makes it a versatile ingredient for confectioneries, beverages, baked goods, and dairy products. Its ability to provide a natural-tasting profile is particularly important in the food industry, where consumer preference leans towards natural ingredients.
In flavor formulations, Citronellol can be used to enhance existing fruity notes, create delicate floral profiles, or add a fresh, citrusy lift. It often works synergistically with other flavor compounds to achieve complex and rounded taste experiences. The regulatory status of Citronellol as a food additive, often designated GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe), further supports its widespread application by flavorists.
