Used in very low concentrations as a flavoring agent; recognized as safe by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).

-santalol. It was shown to induce apoptosis (cell death) and cell cycle arrest in various cancer models.

Santalol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol and the primary active constituent of East Indian sandalwood oil ( Santalum album ). In 2017, significant research focused on its , particularly its anti-tumor effects, and advanced synthetic methods to provide a sustainable alternative to over-harvested natural sources. 1. Key Chemical Properties Santalol exists primarily as two isomers: -santalol (the major component) and -santalol (responsible for the characteristic woody odor). Formula: Molecular Weight: 220.56 g/mol CAS Number: 11031-45-1 Santalol2017.zip

Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a persistent, sweet, woody-balsamic odor. 2. 2017 Research & Breakthroughs

A major review published in CHIMIA in December 2017 detailed new synthetic routes for fragrant natural products from Santalum album , aiming to replicate the complex odor profile of natural oil through lab-grown alternatives. 3. Industrial Applications Used in very low concentrations as a flavoring

It is a high-value "fixative" in perfumes, meaning it helps other scents last longer on the skin.

Studied for its role in treating skin infections, reducing inflammation, and potential neuroprotective benefits. 4. Safety and Regulatory Status Santalol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol and
