ABOUT NEROLIDOL
Nerolidol, also known as peruviol and penetrol, is a sesquiterpene naturally occurring found in the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. Nerolidol is found in neroli, ginger, jasmine, lavender, tea tree, lemongrass. Nerolidol has a mild, delicate odor that has floral, apple, rose, green, and citrus-like nuances. Nerolidol’s flavor has been described as green, floral and woody with citrus and melon notes. The complex aroma of nerolidol is commonly used as a flavoring agent and in perfumery.
As one of the rare substances produced by plants in response to insect attacks, nerolidol has been studied for its anti parasitic, antifungal, antibacterial, anxiolytic, and antioxidant properties. Nerolidol synergistically helps to destroy more bacterial pathogens than the antibiotic drugs alone, improving the efficacy of antibiotics. Nerolidol is being researched for its skin penetration paving the way for transdermal delivery of therapeutic drugs. It is also known to produce a sedative effect, making nerolidol a promising anti-anxiety agent.
