What does SAFROL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colourless or pale yellow oily liquid taken from sassafras and similar plants.
Safrol was once widely used to scent soaps and perfumes and to flavour root beer, because it carries the smell of sassafras. Concerns that it may harm the liver have led many countries to restrict its use in food. It is also a starting material in some chemical syntheses, which is why its sale is monitored. The longer spelling safrole names the same compound.
