| | CITRONELLIC ACID Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | CLEAR COLOURLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID | | Chemical Properties | Citronellic acid has a green-grassy odor. | | Occurrence | The d-form is reportedly a constituent of Java citronella, geranium, Borosma pulchellum, Xanthoxylum
piperitum, bitter-orange leaves, lemongrass, Calytrix virgata and Calytrix tetragona leaves; the l-form has been reportedly identified
in cypress oil (Callitirs glauca R. Br.), Callitirs intratropica, in the oil of Chamaecyparis obtusa and of Thujopsis dolabrata;
the d,l-form is isolated from camphor oil. Also reported found in mandarin peel oil, swangi (Citrus hystrix D.C.), peppermint oil
and black tea. | | Uses | Citronellic acid was used in synthesis of stereoisomers of 3,11- dimethylnonacosan-2-one and 29-hydroxy-3,11-dimethylnonacosan-2-one. | | Definition | ChEBI: Citronellic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is oct-6-enoic acid carrying methyl groups at positions 3 and 7. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a flavouring agent. It is a monoterpenoid, a medium-chain fatty acid and a monounsaturated fatty acid. It is functionally related to a citronellal. | | Preparation | By oxidation of citronellal; also by the conversion of pulegone. | | Aroma threshold values | Detection at 1%: fatty, waxy, heavy, floral with a slight citronella nuance. It also has vegetative and tobacco
nuances. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 to 30 ppm: mild, floral, rosy, fruity melon with slight hints of citronella and citrus. |
