Description

Dihydroactinidiolide is a naturally occurring, potent aroma compound belonging to the class of norisoprenoids. This high-purity chemical is valued for its unique organoleptic properties, making it a critical ingredient for creating sophisticated and authentic flavor and fragrance profiles. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries for premium product formulations.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Formulation: A key component in creating complex, natural-tasting notes such as tobacco, tea, honey, and fruity nuances.
• Food & Beverage Enhancement: Used as a flavor modifier and enhancer in premium products like wines, spirits, teas, and confectionery.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into fine perfumes, lotions, and soaps to provide a rich, warm, and woody-amber base note.
• Tobacco Flavoring: Essential for imparting and improving the characteristic sweet, woody aroma in tobacco products.
• Aroma Chemicals Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of other complex fragrance molecules.
• Functional Ingredient: Investigated for use in air care products and household cleaners for long-lasting, pleasant scent profiles.

Quality Control

Our Dihydroactinidiolide is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure consistency and purity for industrial applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and specific impurities. While typically supplied as a high-grade flavor and fragrance ingredient, specifications can be aligned with relevant industry standards, including FEMA and IFRA guidelines, upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability and to minimize degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
