Overview of Thiogeraniol

Thiogeraniol is a powerful aroma ingredient known for its sharp, grapefruit-like scent with a natural sulphur twist.

It is the thiol version of geraniol and has the chemical name (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-thiol.

Because of its strong aroma impact, only tiny amounts are needed to create realistic citrus, tropical fruit, and passion-fruit notes.

Its unique profile makes it useful in fragrances, flavours, and speciality aroma formulations where authentic sulfur notes are required.
