  • Applications

    The monoterpenoid p-Mentha-1(6),8-dien-3-ol (CAS 20019-62-9) finds broad use due to its allylic alcohol functionality and fresh citrus–herbal–minty odor: (1) fragrance and personal care as a top‑note modifier to boost freshness in perfumes, soaps, detergents, deodorizers, and candles; (2) trace‑level flavoring for confectionery, beverages, and mint/citrus profiles, subject to local regulations; (3) an intermediate and chiral building block for selective formation of epoxides, diols, esters/carbonates, or oxidation to ketones/aldehydes, and for semisynthesis of aroma terpenes; (4) a biotransformation substrate (yeasts, fungi, P450s) to access selectively oxygenated terpenoids, natural‑label flavor production, and a GC/GC‑MS reference standard in profiling mint, dill, and related essential oils; (5) pharma/agro R&D regarding antimicrobial, antifungal, insecticidal/repellent, and antioxidant properties, enabling botanical preservation and surface or crop protection concepts; (6) a green co‑solvent/solvent for resins, inks, and coatings, a fragrance fixative/plasticizer, and a permeation enhancer in topical formulations; (7) microencapsulation (cyclodextrins, polymers) for stabilization, odor masking, and controlled release; note its volatility/oxidizability, store cool and protected from light/oxygen, assess sensitization risk as for other terpenes, and comply with market‑specific regulatory requirements.
