At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we delve into the scientific backbone of the ingredients we supply, and Sclareol is no exception. This natural diterpenoid, identified by the CAS number 515-03-7, is characterized by its unique chemical structure and physical properties that make it indispensable in various industrial applications, particularly within the flavor and fragrance sectors.

Sclareol, chemically represented as C20H36O2, is a white crystalline powder. Its molecular weight is approximately 308.50 g/mol. A key characteristic is its melting point, typically falling within the range of 95-100°C, although some sources cite up to 105-107°C. It exhibits solubility in organic solvents like ethanol and ethyl acetate, a property crucial for its incorporation into diverse formulations. The faint yet distinct amber aroma it possesses is a primary driver for its use in perfumery, where it serves as a vital component in the synthesis of ambergris-like scent molecules. This makes it a preferred natural alternative for achieving complex and lasting fragrances.

The extraction and purification of Sclareol are critical processes that ensure its high quality and efficacy. While natural extraction from Salvia Sclarea is common, ongoing research also explores various synthesis pathways to meet the growing global demand. Understanding these synthesis routes and the precise chemical controls required is paramount for manufacturers aiming for consistency. The chemical properties of Sclareol, such as its specific optical rotation, are also closely monitored to guarantee batch-to-batch uniformity.

Beyond its olfactory contributions, Sclareol's chemical structure lends itself to potential applications in other areas. Its exploration in pharmaceutical research for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties highlights the diverse potential of this natural compound. In the flavor industry, its subtle notes enhance a variety of products, from beverages to baked goods. The chemical stability and reactivity of Sclareol are key factors that determine its suitability for these varied uses.
