Semimicro method for the determination of linalol in coriander oil.
Linalol has been determined colorimetrically in essential oils by means of the green colour developed in the presence of nitrous acid. Geraniol, dipentene, terpineol, citronellol and citral also give a green colour, and are therefore calculated as linalol by this method, but the error is small if they are present in small concentrations.
