Geranyl diphosphate diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.11, geraniol synthase', geranyl pyrophosphate pyrophosphatase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate + H2O geraniol + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from Ocimum basilicum (basil) and Cinnamomum tenuipile (camphor tree).
