Description

Epoxy-2-Octenal,(E)-4,5-Epoxy-(E)-2-Octenal is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic epoxy aldehyde that serves as a key flavor and fragrance intermediate. This compound is valued for its ability to impart unique green, fatty, and cucumber-like notes, making it essential for creating complex organoleptic profiles. It is primarily sought after by flavor and fragrance houses, as well as research and development laboratories in the food, beverage, and cosmetic industries for advanced formulation work.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Creation: A critical building block for synthesizing and enhancing flavors with green, fatty, and fresh cucumber nuances.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Used in the development of sophisticated flavorings for beverages, dairy products, and savory applications.
• Perfumery & Cosmetics: Incorporated into fragrance compositions to add natural, fresh top notes in fine perfumes, lotions, and personal care products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis for creating more complex aroma chemicals and specialty compounds.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-odor relationships and developing novel aroma molecules.
• Natural Flavor Enhancement: Used to boost or modify the sensory profile of natural flavor extracts and essential oils.

Quality Control

Our Epoxy-2-Octenal is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods to confirm identity, potency, and the absence of significant impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific tests is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
