A: Phytol is an acyclic diterpene alcohol. It is a type of unsaturated monohydric terpene alcohol with the molecular formula C₂₀H₄₀O. It is classified as a terpene and as an olefinic alcohol: the molecule contains one carbon–carbon double bond and one hydroxyl group.
A: Natural phytol exists as the side chain of chlorophyll in green plants. Commercial natural-grade phytol is generally obtained from hydrolysis and purification of chlorophyll-rich plant raw materials.
A: It is a Yellow to red-brown Viscous liquid. It is insoluble in water, but miscible with ethanol, ether, vegetable oils and most organic solvents.
A: It is widely used as a fragrance and flavour raw material, a cosmetic ingredient, and a key synthetic intermediate for Vitamin K1 and Vitamin E. It is a natural product commonly applied in the daily chemical and fine chemical industries.
Phytol is sensitive to light and air. Prolonged exposure to light causes oxidation and colour deepening. It should be stored sealed, protected from light, and under cool conditions.
Its main applications are fragrance and flavour raw material, cosmetic ingredient, and synthetic intermediate for Vitamin K1 and Vitamin E. It is used in the daily chemical, food flavour and fine chemical industries.
In perfumery it is used as a green-floral note with a natural character. It blends well with other terpenes and with most aromatic materials, and is applied in fine fragrance, personal care and household products. Dosage is set by the perfumer according to the application: it is normally used as an auxiliary ingredient rather than as a main note.
Yes. Natural phytol can be applied as a permitted food flavoring substance under relevant food regulations. It is used to adjust and enhance the aroma characteristics of food
Phytol provides the C20 phytyl side chain. It is a direct starting material for the phytyl group of Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone). In Vitamin E production the phytyl chain is normally introduced via isophytol; in that route phytol serves as a C20 terpene building block.
