Description

Geranyl B-D-Glucoside is a monoterpene glycoside, a natural compound formed by linking geraniol to a glucose molecule. This structure offers enhanced stability and water solubility compared to its aglycone, making it a valuable ingredient for advanced formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetics, and personal care industries for its role as a natural, substantive, and slow-release precursor for the fresh, floral scent of geraniol.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: Used as a substantive precursor and fixative, providing a long-lasting, natural floral (rose-like) aroma upon enzymatic or hydrolytic release of geraniol.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Incorporated into creams, lotions, and serums for its natural origin, skin-substantive properties, and as a mild, slow-release fragrance component.
• Personal Care Products: Applied in soaps, shampoos, and deodorants to impart a stable and persistent natural scent profile.
• Flavor Enhancer: Potential use in high-value food and beverage applications as a source of natural geraniol flavor, though specific food-grade compliance must be verified.
• Biocatalysis & Synthesis: Serves as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of other glycosylated natural products.
• Agricultural & Pheromone Formulations: Explored for use in controlled-release systems for botanical pesticides or insect attractants due to its glycosidic nature.

Quality Control

Our Geranyl B-D-Glucoside is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
