فیتول

Also known as (E)-phytol, trans-phytol, (2E,7R,11R)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol

Phytol (florasol, phytosol) is an acyclic hydrogenated diterpene alcohol that is used as a precursor for the manufacture of synthetic forms of vitamin E and vitamin K1, as well as in the fragrance industry. Its other commercial uses include cosmetics, shampoos, toilet soaps, and detergents, as well as in some cannabis distillates as a diluent or for flavoring. It smells grassy and dominates the aroma of certain green teas.
