| General description: | (-)-Linalool is a monoterpene that is an important constituent of essential oils like lavender oil. |
| General description: | (−)-Linalool is a naturally occurring enantiomer of linalool, a monoterpene compound present as a major volatile component in the essential oil of several aromatic species. It is an important flavor and fragrance ingredient employed in the cosmetic industry for neutralizing unpleasant odors that may be present in the chemicals or to enhance the individuality and appeal of products. The anti-inflammatory activity of (−)-linalool found in distilled or extracted essential oil is investigated. |
