Description

cis-6-Nonenal is a high-purity, unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct, powerful green, cucumber-like, and melon rind odor. This compound is a key flavor and fragrance ingredient prized for its ability to impart fresh, natural green notes at low concentrations. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry seeking to create or enhance complex, natural-smelling profiles. The product is supplied as cis-6-Nonenal CAS NO 2277-19-2, ensuring precise identification and quality.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A crucial component for creating fresh, green, and cucumber accords in fine perfumes, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Flavor Creation: Used to impart natural melon, cucumber, and green vegetable nuances in beverages, dairy products, and confectionery.
• Aroma Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a valuable building block in the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and specialty chemicals.
• Functional Perfumery: Enhances the freshness and natural character of soaps, detergents, and household cleaning products.
• Natural Product Enhancement: Used to boost or round off the green notes in natural extracts and essential oil blends.
• Research & Development: Employed in analytical and sensory laboratories as a reference standard and for studying olfaction.
