Description

trans-2-Nonen-1-ol is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty alcohol characterized by its distinct, powerful odor profile. This compound serves as a key fragrance and flavor intermediate, prized for its ability to impart fresh, green, and cucumber-like notes. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F), cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking to create sophisticated and natural-smelling products.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A crucial component for creating fresh, green, and cucumber top notes in fine perfumes, personal care products, and air fresheners.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used as a flavoring agent to impart fresh, melon, and cucumber nuances to beverages, confectionery, and savory food products.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into skincare and cosmetic formulations for its aromatic properties and as a functional intermediate.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Aromatherapy & Home Scents: Used in the production of essential oil blends, diffuser oils, and scented candles for its natural, vegetative character.
• Research & Development: Employed in analytical laboratories and R&D facilities as a reference standard and for studying olfactory receptors.
