Colorless clear liquid; spicy, moss, earthy aroma. | [Occurrence]
Reported found in pepper oil black India (0.10%), lime oil distilled Mexico (0.07%), and lime oil distilled Peru
(0.06%). | [Preparation]
Both isomers are obtained from caryophyllene. Ether solution of caryophyllene is treated with an ether solution of sulfuric
acid monohydrate under cooling to prevent the temperature from rising above 10°C; after alkalinization of the solution, the
β-caryophyllene alcohol is distilled off. From the residue where it is present as an ester, the α-caryophyllene alcohol is distilled after
the ether solution has been made acid once again. | [Aroma threshold values]
Medium strength odor, spicy type. |
