Isoborneol Flakes
Isoborneol Flakes
Isoborneol (exo-1,7,7-Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol) is a terpene alcohol and a valuable camphor derivative with a distinctive camphoraceous-woody aroma. It is produced via hydrolysis of isobornyl acetate or by reduction of camphor, yielding white to off-white crystalline flakes.
Isoborneol Flakes are widely used in fragrance compounding for their woody, pine-like notes, as a flavoring agent in food products, and as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis. Its cooling, aromatic properties make it a valuable ingredient in muscle liniments, cough preparations, and personal care formulations.
