Tyrosol
Tyrosol (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenol; also called 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol or 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol) is the compound associated with CAS 501-94-0. It is a phenylethanoid with a para-substituted phenolic hydroxyl group and a two-carbon hydroxyethyl side chain. Tyrosol is reported as a naturally occurring phenolic constituent in olive-derived materials and other plant or fermented-food matrices.
Its defensible applications are primarily analytical and research-oriented: it can serve as a reference compound in studies of phenolics and is investigated for antioxidant-related and other biological properties.
– Analytical reference and characterization: Tyrosol may be used as a reference compound in laboratory analysis of phenolic constituents in olive-derived samples and related botanical or food matrices. Confirm reference-material identity, purity, traceability, and method suitability; this is an analytical application, not a claim that the material is an approved food additive.
– Chemical and biological research: Tyrosol is studied as a naturally occurring phenolic compound, including antioxidant-related activity and other reported biological effects. Treat these as research questions rather than demonstrated clinical benefits or indications. Select a suitable Industrial Grade, document the material specification, and follow the institution’s chemical-handling and waste procedures.
– Nutrition-oriented ingredient development: Research or formulation exploration may be considered only where lawful and appropriate for the intended market. Do not infer that a research-grade or nominally high-purity product is suitable for food or supplements. Verify food-grade status, contaminant and residual-solvent limits, supplier documentation, stability, and applicable authorization before any proposed use.
