Aleuritic acid has got great importance. It is considered to be one of the most important derivatives of Lac. One can obtain this acid through Shellac by the process of saponification.Usually, this product is pretty odourless and is physically detectable as a fine white powder.


Storage: Basically this material is required to be protected from dirt. Hence, the best way to store it is to keep it in clean room which does not have any option of dirt or dust.

Application: Aleuritic acid is primarily used in Perfumery and Fragrance industries. In addition to this it is widely used in flavors industries as well for the synthetic preparation of civetone, dehydro civetone and related lactones.
