Description

cis-3-Octen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its distinctive green, mushroom-like aroma. This compound serves as a versatile and potent fragrance intermediate and flavoring agent, prized for its ability to impart natural, earthy notes to complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavors and fragrances (F&F), food and beverage, and cosmetic industries seeking to create sophisticated, natural-smelling products.

Application

• Fragrance Ingredient: A key component in perfumery for creating green, vegetable, and mushroom accords in fine fragrances, personal care products, and household cleaners.
• Flavoring Agent: Used to enhance or replicate natural flavors in food and beverage products, particularly those requiring earthy, herbal, or mushroom notes.
• Cosmetic Additive: Employed as a fragrance component in lotions, creams, soaps, and other cosmetic formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for the production of more complex aroma chemicals and specialty esters.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in analytical chemistry and life science research for olfactory studies and metabolic pathway analysis.
