Description

Ethyl Nonanoate CAS NO 123-29-5 is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid ester with a characteristic fruity, waxy, and cognac-like aroma. This compound is a versatile intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient prized for its organoleptic properties and chemical reactivity. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, food and beverage, and specialty chemical synthesis industries seeking to create specific sensory profiles or build complex molecular structures.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key component in the creation of artificial fruit flavors (e.g., grape, apple, melon) and as a top note in perfumery for cognac, wine, and fatty-waxy nuances.
• Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a synthetic flavoring agent in candies, baked goods, beverages, and dairy products to impart fruity notes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or starting material in organic synthesis, particularly for producing other esters, amides, or specialty chemicals.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into soaps, lotions, and cosmetics as a fragrance ingredient.
• Industrial Applications: Can be used as a plasticizer, solvent, or lubricant additive in specific formulations.
