Technical Specifications & Labeling
There is now a method of making Citronellol, which has regulations and product labels (commodity parameters). The regulations start from the selection of materials, and the natural herbs are collected, which are purified and crushed to ensure their purity. Then the method of distillation controls the temperature at 100 and 20 degrees for about two hours, so that the essence of the vanilla can be separated from the water vapor. After condensation, it is collected to obtain a crude liquid, which is then rectified, and the impurities are separated to improve the purity to more than 90% and 5%.
If it is marked, the content and characteristics are listed. Citronellol is colorless to light yellow liquid, with the fragrance of rose and lemon. The content is established, and its density and refractive index need to be checked. The density should be 0.88 to 0.89 grams per cubic centimeter, and the refractive index should be between 1.456 and 1.458. In this way, the quality of Citronellol can be guaranteed.

What are the physical properties of Citronellol?
"Heavenly Works" is a masterpiece of science and technology written by Song Yunxing in the Ming Dynasty, but there is no content of "citronellol" in it, because there is no knowledge of this chemical substance. Today, you use the ancient Chinese saying, saying that this thing is physical.
Citronellol, the Chinese name is citronellol, which is a rose-scented liquid. Its boiling temperature is 198 ° C. This characteristic makes it melt from a liquid at a certain degree. The phase density is nearly 0.859, and the water is low, so if the water is mixed, it can float on the water. The melting temperature is low, -45 ° C. It is usually a liquid, and it solidifies in low environments.
Citronellol is slightly soluble in water, but it can be miscible in ethanol, ether, etc. This is due to the principle of similar miscibility. Due to its rosy fragrance, citronella is often used in the combination of perfumes and flavors to increase its fragrance.
In addition, citronella has a certain quality, and it is not easy to react to most substances under normal conditions. However, in case of oxidation, acid and other substances, it also initiates the reaction, causing it to be changed and physical. In addition, citronella has an important position in the field of fragrances and related fields due to its physical properties.

What are the precautions for using Citronellol?
Nispone oil alcohol is a commonly used fragrance. When using it, pay attention to the number of matters.
First, pay attention to the dosage. Although nispone oil alcohol has a fragrant taste, it is used too much, which will cause pungent aroma and may cause discomfort. "Tiangong Kaiwu" says: "Everything has its own degree, too much is too much." This is no different from the use of spices. Use the right amount to make the aroma pleasant. For example, when perfuming, when weighing accurately according to the formula, do not increase or decrease at will to achieve a good fragrance effect.
Second, pay attention to allergic reactions. People in the world have different constitutions, and some people may be allergic to nispone oil alcohol. Therefore, when using a new product containing this ingredient, it is advisable to try it on a small area of the skin first. For example, apply a little behind the ear, inside the wrist and other sensitive areas of the skin, and wait for a few hours. If the skin does not show discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching, etc., you must use it with confidence. Otherwise, if you use it rashly in a large area, you may cause allergies and pain to the skin, which is unbearable.
Third, pay attention to storage conditions. Nisone oil alcohol is lively and easily affected by external factors. When placed in a cool, dry and dark place, away from fire and heat sources. Due to high temperature, humidity or light, it can undergo chemical changes, cause aroma changes, and even deteriorate and fail. If it is not stored well, it is a pity that the fragrance is destroyed.
Fourth, pay attention to the compatibility with other ingredients. When perfuming or making products, cedar oil is matched with different ingredients, and the effect is different. Or complement each other, or conflict with each other. Therefore, it is necessary to know its chemical properties in detail, understand the characteristics of the ingredients that are compatible with it, and choose the combination carefully, so that the aroma can be coordinated and integrated to achieve the desired effect. This is also like a craftsman's utensil, where the parts are properly matched to achieve the best.

Citronella alcohol is a fragrant organic compound that has a wide range of uses in the fields of fragrance and medicine. There are three common methods for its preparation.
One is extracted from natural plants. Many plants, such as citronella, roses, etc., contain citronella alcohol. In the past, distillation was used to extract it from plant raw materials. The plants rich in citronella alcohol were first picked, washed and dried, placed in a still, and distilled with water vapor. Citronella alcohol comes out with steam, condensed and layered to obtain crude products, and then refined to remove impurities to obtain pure citronella alcohol. The citronella alcohol obtained in this way has a natural flavor and is of high quality. However, it is subject to plant resources, with limited yield and high extraction cost.
Second, it is prepared by chemical synthesis. Citral is often used as a raw material and prepared by catalytic hydrogenation. Citral is added to hydrogen in the presence of suitable catalysts, such as nickel and platinum, and the aldehyde group is converted into a hydroxyl group to produce citronella alcohol. This method can be mass-produced and the cost is relatively low. However, the synthesis process requires strict control of the reaction conditions, and the product may contain isomers. It needs to be carefully separated and purified to achieve the desired purity.
Third, the method of biosynthesis is gradually emerging. With the help of microorganisms or enzymes, citronella is synthesized from specific substrates. For example, some yeasts or bacteria can be genetically engineered to convert simple carbon sources, such as glucose, into citronella alcohol. This path has the advantages of being green and environmentally friendly, with mild reaction conditions and high selectivity. However, the technology is still in the development stage, and the output and efficiency need to be improved. To achieve industrial production, much research is still needed.
