The invention relates to the technical field of
linalool synthesis, in particular to a decoloring and
aroma-keeping method for synthesizing
linalool, which comprises the following specific steps: S1,
cracking generation: heating beta-
pinene to high temperature, and
cracking the beta-
pinene to generate
myrcene; s2, rapid cooling: rapidly cooling the
split product myrcene to avoid
side reaction; s3, crude sample generation: in the presence of an acid catalyst,
myrcene reacts with water to generate
linalool, the
reaction temperature is 40-80 DEG C, and the reaction time is 4-12 hours; s4, neutralizing the crude sample: after the reaction is finished, neutralizing residual acid by using a
sodium bicarbonate solution, and separating an organic phase by using a separating funnel; s5, washing the crude sample: washing the
organic layer to be neutral, and removing water-soluble impurities at the same time; s6, purifying the crude sample: adding
anhydrous sodium sulfate to dry an
organic layer. According to the decoloring and fragrance-keeping method used in the invention, the synthesized linalool is easy to decolor and natural in fragrance, can easily meet the standards of food additives and spice supplies, and has a wide application prospect.
