Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Properties]
Isophytol is a colorless viscous liquid with a delicate dry leaf, tealike and slightly
carmellic sweet odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as
alcohols and ketones. It has the dual nature of olefins and alcohols. The physical
properties of isophytol are listed in Table 4.8.

Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Isophytol, also known as 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-1-hexadecen-3-ol, is a derivative of
acetylene and acetone. Isophytol is a terpenoid alcohol that is used as a fragrance and as an intermediate
in the production of vitamin E and K1. Among them, the amount of isophytol used
in production of vitamin E is the largest, followed by that used in the production of
vitamin K1, while only about 0.1% of isophytol is used for fragrance and flavoring.
Vitamin E is widely used in medicine, food, animal feed, beauty cosmetics and other
aspects. | [Chemical Properties]
