Odor:
At high concentrations, it has a strong, pungent, rancid odor; when highly diluted, it exhibits a fresh, green, and fruity composite aroma, blending the crisp, green notes of unripe fruit. It occurs naturally in guava, strawberries, and tea leaves and is a key ingredient in green-type flavorings.
Applications:
1. Used in the formulation of apple, strawberry, and tropical fruit-based food flavorings; a small amount can significantly enhance the fresh, green character of the fruit aroma.
2. Serves as an organic synthesis intermediate for the preparation of trans-2-hexenoic acid esters and pharmaceutical antiseptics; it can also be used as a modifier for green-scented personal care fragrances.
Storage and Safety:
Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from open flames, high-temperature heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents. Wear safety goggles and acid- and alkali-resistant protective gloves during handling to avoid direct contact with skin or eyes, which may cause burns.
