Due to its pleasant odor, (-)-linalyl acetate is used as ingredient in perfumes and cosmetic products. It is a major compound in the essential oils of petitgrain (Citrus aurantium spp. auran-tiurri), Citrus bergamia and L. angustifolia (Bornscheuer et al., 2014 O Neil, 2006). As an ester, linalyl acetate is hydrolyzed in vivo by carboxylesterases or esterases to linalool (Figure 9.17), which is then further metabolized to numerous oxidized products (see metabolism of linalool) (Bickers et ah, 2003).
