Description

Ethyl trans-2-Octenoate is a high-purity ester compound valued for its role as a versatile flavor and fragrance intermediate. This product is essential for formulators seeking to create or enhance specific fruity, waxy, or green organoleptic profiles in their applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key building block for synthesizing complex aroma chemicals and for direct use in creating fruity (pear, apple, melon) and waxy-green flavor nuances.
• Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a flavoring agent in confectionery, beverages, dairy products, and baked goods to impart natural-tasting fruit notes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into perfumes, lotions, and soaps as a fragrance component for its fresh and fruity olfactory characteristics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or starting material in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Research & Development: Used in analytical laboratories as a reference standard and in R&D for developing new flavor systems and functional materials.
