Application:	Phytol was used to investigate the electroantennogram response of males and females of the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella to various plant volatiles. It was used in the synthesis of pristanic acid (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoic acid).
Biochem/physiol Actions:	Phytol exhibits potential anti-Schistosomal properties. It induces sedative and anxiolytic-like effects in mice.
General description:	Phytol is a diterpene alcohol and is widely used as a food additive and in medicinal field. It undergoes Mitsunobu reaction with 5-fluorouridine to yield the nucleoterpenes.
Packaging:	10, 50 g in glass bottle
