The substance is a component of many essential oils and is found, for example, in hops, ginger, coriander, marjoram, nutmeg, lavender, pepper, saffron and thyme and other spice plants. Linalool is also one of the many aromatic substances in wine. There it is a component of muscatel.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
