Colorless oily liquid.
Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with oils.
Oily, but fresh and citrusy odor, somewhat reminiscent of Linalool, but overall of Orange-Bitter Orange, Grapefruit-character.
Suggested for use in flavor compositions, as a fortifier in Orange-Grapefruit compositions, etc. and generally in fruit imitation flavors.
Could find use in perfume compositions, mainly as a modifier in citrusy topnotes, and as a new, refreshing item to accompany certain floral fragrances in their topnote.
