| Additional Infomation |
Neroli acetate is an acetate ester formed by the condensation of the hydroxyl group of nerol with the carboxyl group of acetate. It is a volatile oil component, flavoring agent, and plant metabolite. It is an acetate, monoterpene, and olefin compound, functionally related to nerol. Neroli acetate has been reported in hops, magnolia bark, and other organisms with relevant data. Cardamom also contains neroli acetate. It is also found in citrus, kumquat, and grapefruit peel oils, ginger, cardamom, clary sage, myrtle leaves, and myrtle berries. Neroli acetate is a flavoring agent. Geraniyl acetate belongs to the fatty alcohol ester class and is an ester derivative of fatty alcohols. See also: Cold-pressed lemon oil (partial).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
