Description

(-)-Perillaldehyde is a high-purity, naturally derived monoterpenoid aldehyde, recognized for its distinctive minty, herbaceous aroma and significant biological activity. This compound is a critical chiral building block and flavor/fragrance ingredient, valued for its stereochemical purity which directly influences its efficacy in advanced applications. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking a reliable, high-quality source for product development and synthesis.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key aromatic component in perfumery for creating fresh, minty, and herbaceous notes, and as a flavoring agent in food and beverages.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral precursor in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemicals: Used in the research and development of natural or nature-inspired pesticides and insect repellents.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into formulations for its fragrance and potential natural preservative or soothing properties.
• Food Preservation: Studied for its antimicrobial properties to extend the shelf-life of food products.
• Chemical Synthesis: An important starting material for organic synthesis, including hydrogenation to dihydroperillaldehyde or use in cyclization reactions.

Quality Control

Our (-)-Perillaldehyde is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and standard impurity profiles via GC and HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and specific tests is supplied with each batch to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to keep the container tightly sealed under an inert gas blanket after opening and away from heat and ignition sources.
