  • Applications

    Ginsenol (CAS 117591-80-7) is primarily of interest as an organic synthesis intermediate and may function as a solvent or processing aid in industrial manufacturing; it is being evaluated for fragrance applications as a scent component and for cosmetics/personal care formulations; in coatings and inks it could act as an additive or processing aid; and it may be employed in cleaning formulations as a solvent or degreasing agent, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
