Geraniol, an acyclic monoterpene alcohol, finds extensive application in the food and beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. It is prominently present in rose oil and other essential oils such as citronella and palmarosa. Renowned for its natural properties, geraniol serves as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antifungal agent, making it valuable as a preservative and flavoring agent in the food and beverage sector. While the precise mechanism of geraniol′s action is not yet fully comprehended, it is believed to influence the expression of genes involved in regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis.
