Metabolite Identification
Common NameGeraniol
DescriptionGeraniol, also known as (Z)-geraniol or neryl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, geraniol is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Geraniol.
