The main fragrant constituents of rose oil are terpenoids, geraniol, and citronellol. In the course of development, the group has discovered that two flavor elements, geraniol found in rose and vanillic aldehyde derived from vanilla, have higher emission efficiencies. This polymer is synthesized from isopentenyl pyrophosphate via a pathway similar to that for the biosynthesis of terpenes such as geraniol and farnasol. |
