Olfactory Characteristics
In a 1% dipropylene glycol solution, it exhibits a pungent, grassy aroma blended with notes of green apple, tomato, and potato. Naturally present in various foods such as tomatoes, strawberries, peas, and refined soybean oil, it is a highly recognizable short-chain aldehyde-type flavoring agent.
Core Applications
1. Food Flavoring: FEMA No. 3218, listed as an approved food flavoring in GB 2760. It is primarily used in the formulation of fruit and vegetable-flavored food flavorings, with a maximum permitted level of 10.0 mg/kg in soft drinks, candies, and puddings.
2. Personal Care Fragrancing: Added to specialty personal care fragrances as a characteristic green note to enrich the fresh, green layers of the fragrance profile, making it suitable for formulations of personal care products with unique flavor profiles.
3. Organic Synthesis: Serves as an intermediate in fine organic synthesis for the production of downstream aldehyde derivatives.
Storage Requirements
Must be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area designated for flammable materials. Keep away from open flames and high-temperature heat sources, and store separately from strong oxidizing agents to prevent the risk of combustion.
