Description

2-Hexenyl-β-Glucopyranoside is a glycosidic compound where a hexenyl group is linked to a glucose moiety via a β-glycosidic bond. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient, particularly in the synthesis of flavor and fragrance compounds where it can act as a precursor or a slow-release agent. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, cosmetic, and fine chemical synthesis industries for its ability to impart or modify organoleptic properties.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Precursor: Used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals, contributing green, fruity, or floral notes.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent or a carrier for active components in personal care formulations.
• Glycosidase Substrate: Serves as a specific substrate in enzymatic studies and biochemical research.
• Chemical Intermediate: A key building block for the synthesis of more complex glycosides and surfactants.
• Food Flavoring Agent: Potential use as a flavor modifier or stabilizer in food products, subject to regulatory approval.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hexenyl-β-Glucopyranoside is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
