Subscribe/Renew Journal
Geraniol is a highly valuable aroma chemical and having extensive use in perfumery and flavour compounds. There are three sources to isolate this aroma chemical. Palmarosa oil Cymbopogon martini commonly known 'Rosha'or russa is the main source of geraniol (80 - 95%) and Jamrosa oil contains 80-89%. Another source of geraniol is Cymbopogon winterianus (Java citronella oil), which contains 40-45% including citronellol. This paper reports the processing of these essential oils to the recovery of geraniol content and find out the comparative study in respect of yield and cost economics.
