  • Applications

    p-Mentha-1,3-dien-8-ol (CAS 82538-84-9) is a monoterpenoid alcohol with a fresh citrus–herbal–mint odor, used mainly in perfumery to lift top notes and deliver clean, green freshness in fine fragrances, detergents, personal- and air-care products; in flavors it is dosed at trace levels to nuance mint/citrus/herbal profiles in confectionery, beverages, and baked goods; in synthesis it serves as an intermediate for esters (e.g., acetates), ethers, and oxidized terpene derivatives for aroma applications; it is also explored as a pleasant “green” co-solvent for household formulations, as an analytical reference standard and a biocatalysis/redox substrate in monoterpene chemistry, and has been studied for antimicrobial/antioxidant activity and as a botanical repellent in agro uses, subject to local regulations.
