  • Applications

    p-Mentha-1,4-dien-7-ol (CAS 22539-72-6) is a monoterpenoid alcohol used mainly in fragrance–flavor applications and as a synthetic intermediate: in fine fragrance, personal care, and household cleaners it lifts citrus–herbal–minty top notes, tunes terpene accords, and refreshes compositions; in foods and beverages (at very low use levels and subject to local regulations) it can add peel-like citrus, minty, and light woody facets; in aroma chemistry its alcohol functionality is a convenient handle for making esters/derivatives (e.g., acetates, carbonates) or performing oxidation/hydrogenation to design more stable odorants, and it is employed as a GC–MS reference/marker for essential-oil profiling and storage-change monitoring; beyond formulation, it is frequently explored in research as a bio-based building block for environmentally oriented pharma/agro leads and as a candidate with potential antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, or insect-repellent activity in vitro, as well as a volatile co-solvent/carrier in lab trials, with any specific use requiring technical validation and compliance with safety, IFRA/food-grade, and national regulatory frameworks.
