d2020 0.880–0.894; n20D 1.4710–1.4780; α20D +1.4 ° to +3 °; solubility: 1 vol in2 vol of 70% ethanol at 20 ℃; ester number (after acetylation): 255–280, correspondingto a total alcohol content of 80–95%, free alcohol content (calculatedas geraniol): 72–94%. High-grade palmarosa oil may contain up to95% geraniol and its esters; it is produced in smaller quantitiesthan other oils obtained from aromatic grasses (～100 t/yr mainly in India).Palmarosa oil is the starting material for geraniol and geranyl esters of highodor quality, but it is also used for perfuming soaps and cosmetics. |
