Nerol belongs to the class of monoterpene glycosides.

Nerol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of nerol in: e-cigarette refill solutions by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) as well as gas chromatography (GC) coupled to MS/MS operating under the electron impact (EI) mode and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of detection.

Honeybush tea (Cyclopia spp.) by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) with flame ionization detection (FID) and a single stage modulator. Hanzhong black tea (Camellia sinesis) by solid phase extraction (SPE) and GC coupled to MS as well as olfactometry.

Wine by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and EI-GC-MS with selective ion monitoring (SIM) detection.
