rhodinol substitues

Rhodinol substitues are synthetic fragrance compounds designed to emulate the odor profile of rhodinol, a natural rose alcohol. They typically appear as clear liquids and are characterized by a medium-strength floral odor reminiscent of sweet rose leather. This category includes notable synonyms such as vartol and rhodinol nat SP, with key components geraniol and citronellol contributing to the scent profile. These substitutes are widely used in the flavor and fragrance industry to replicate rose alcohol nuances. Their chemical identity and properties are indexed on public databases such as PubChem, aiding formulators in integrating them appropriately. Rhodinol substitues are derived through blending established aroma chemicals rather than extraction from natural materials, providing consistency and versatility for perfumery and flavor applications.

Rhodinol substitues do not occur naturally but are synthesized blends containing geraniol and citronellol, both of which are naturally present in various essential oils. These substitutes serve as alternatives to rhodinol in sprays, perfumes, and flavorings where rose-like, floral notes are desired. Their application extends to fragrance formulations targeting complementary odor nuances such as apricot, citrus, and woody accords, enhancing aroma complexity. The substitues demonstrate versatility in settings requiring alcohol solubility and moderate substantivity, typically lasting up to 48 hours at full concentration. Usage recommendations follow IFRA (Global) guidelines, permitting concentrations up to 12% in fragrance concentrates to maintain safety and product quality.

Rhodinol substitues possess specific gravities ranging from 0.86 to 0.868 at 25 °C, indicating moderate density relevant to formulation weight calculations. The refractive index falls between 1.458 and 1.468 at 20 °C, assisting in quality control and purity assessments. These substances exhibit solubility in alcohol but are insoluble in water, a critical factor influencing formulation choices in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Their flash point is approximately 99 °C (210 °F), necessitating careful handling concerning flammability. The medium floral odor with good substantivity supports sustained fragrance release. Such physicochemical parameters inform compatibility with solvents and stability considerations in complex fragrance or flavor matrices.
