	Shenet - Geraniol
		Helt ren geraniol är löslig redan i 50 % alkohol (15 delar).
		• Geraniol används för att "förstärka" och "förbättra" dyra eteriska oljor som rosenolja och citronmelissolja.
		Geraniol används i citrusdofter och blomparfymer, särskilt rosdofter (upp till 30 % i doftblandningar, och kan utgöra 75 % av en syntetisk rosdoft).

	KFDA - Korea Food Additives Code
		Geraniol should contain not less than 88.0% of geraniol (C10H18O).
		Geraniol is a colorless to light yellow, transparent liquid having a characteristic odor.
		To 1 ml of Geraniol, add 1 ml of acetic Anhydrous and 1 drop of phosphoric acid, keep at a slightly warm temperature for 10 minutes, add 1 ml of water, shake in hot water for 5 minutes, cool, and make slightly alkaline with anhydrous sodium carbonate solution.

	Monarda: A Source of Geraniol, Linalool, Thymol and Carvacrol-rich Essential Oils
		In the present study, the content and composition of the nitrogen extracted volatiles and hydrodistillated oils from eight winter-hardy, powdery mildew, and rust-resistant hybrids were determined, with the aim of developing new alternative crops for Canadian agriculture.
		Geraniol accounted for well over 90% of the composition of the oil from the hybrid, 'Morden #3'.
		Geraniol is used in perfumery for its rosy scent, and in food products as a flavor ingredient.

	Isomerization of the unsaturated alcohols (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Geraniol or nerol may be produced by isomerizing linalool in the presence of the esters of orthovanadate at high temperature.
		Geraniol and nerol obtained according to the present invention have a great value as perfumes or as intermediate products for the preparation of perfumes and medical supplies.
		The distillate was further subjected to rectification to obtain 62.0g of linalool and 31.5g of geraniol and nerol (comprising 58.1% of geraniol and 41.4% of nerol).

	EPA: Federal Register: Geraniol; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
		Geraniol residues in drinking water are expected to be minimal from its use as a pesticide.
		Human dermal exposures to geraniol occur primarily from its use as a fragrance in cosmetics, soaps, detergents, creams, and lotions, not from the agricultural use as a pesticide.
		Non-occupational inhalation exposures to geraniol from its pesticidal use are expected to be minimal to non- existent.

	What is Geraniol? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Geraniol, a powerful ingredient extracted from geranium oil through a unique refining process, does indeed provide a natural – and extremely effective – insect repellent.
		According to laboratory and field studies by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Geraniol, the active ingredient in BugBand insect repellent, has been proven effective in repelling a wide variety of insects, including mosquitoes, house flies, stable flies, horn flies, cockroaches, fire ants, fleas, gnats, dog ticks, lone star ticks, and no-see-ums.
		Geraniol has been extensively tested under controlled, well documented conditions – with very favorable results.

	Geraniol
		Carnesecchi S. et al demonstrated in his study "Geraniol, a component of Plant Essential Oils, Inhibits Grwoth and Polyamine Biosyntehsis in Human Colon Cancer Cells", (Pharmacology, July 2001) that geraniol caused a 50% increase of ornithine decarboxylase activity, which is enhances during cancer growth.
		Burk YD concluded in his study "Inhibition of Pancreatic Cancer Growth by the dietary isoprenoids farnesol and geraniol" (Lipids, February 1997) that geraniol, farnesol and perilll alcohol suppress pancreatic tumor growth.
		Geraniol is mainly used in perfumery and flavouring.

	Geraniol:Essential Oil /5FU& Human Colon Ca
		We show that geraniol, a monoterpene found in essential oils of fruits and herbs caused inhibition of Caco-2 cells growth and blocked cancer cell differentiation.
		Geraniol at 400 ìM prevented the formation of brush-border membranes and inhibited the expression of intestinal hydrolases (sucrase, lactase, alkaline phosphatase).
		The effects of geraniol and 5-FU were also evaluated in vivo on the growth of 5-FU-resistant human colonic tumour cells (TC-118) transplanted in Swiss nu/nu mice.

	Perturbation by Geraniol of Cell Membrane Permeability and Signal Transduction Pathways in Human Colon Cancer Cells -- ...
		Geraniol was added either to the cell culture medium (hatched column) or to the cell homogenate (dark column).
		Geraniol may act as a permeabilizing agent, as is the case with amphotericin B, an antibiotic used as a reference in electrophysiological
		Yu SG, Hildebrandt LA and Elson CE (1995) Geraniol, an inhibitor of mevalonate biosynthesis, suppresses the growth of hepatomas and melanomas transplanted to rats and mice.

		In this study, we selected geraniol as a lipophilic compound and newly synthesized SON bearing 5' terminal geraniol (geranyl-SON) toward IE pre-mRNA 5 of the HSV-1 to enhance the anti-herpetic activity.
		Geraniol is a olefinic terpene alcohol which is found in many essential oils (some of which are found in H-Away).
		Geraniol enhanced the anti-herpetic activity of SON with less cytotoxicity in a sequence specific manner.

		Recruitment of naive bees by foragers harvesting 1.25 M sucrose rewards that were unscented, or perfumed with 100 ul/l cinnamon oil, citral, cajeput oil, geraniol or nerol.
		Bay and geraniol were favored scents, both for first visits and largest numbers of harvesting trips.
		Identification of geraniol as the active component in the pheromone of the honey bee.

	Chemistry
		Skin patch screening test for allergy to fragrances — second only to nickel as the most common cause of contact dermatitis in the Western world — may not detect some cases of allergy to a widely used fragrance chemical, Swedish scientists are reporting.
		Geraniol has been regarded as a weak allergen, responsible for only about 5 percent of positive patch test responses to the fragrance allergens used for screening of fragrance allergy in dermatitis patients.
		The new research, however, shows that geraniol oxidizes during exposure to air, changing into a more potent allergen.
