Description

(2E,6Z)-2,6-Nonadienoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester known for its characteristic green, cucumber-like aroma. This compound serves as a critical key intermediate and fragrance ingredient in the synthesis of complex flavor and fragrance molecules. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food additive, and fine chemical synthesis industries seeking to impart fresh, natural olfactory notes. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global production needs.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A key component in perfumes, colognes, and personal care products for its fresh, green, and cucumber-like top notes.
• Flavor Creation: Used as a flavoring agent in food and beverage products to enhance or create melon, cucumber, and fresh vegetable flavor profiles.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and pharmaceutical agents.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Serves as a starting material for the manufacture of other high-value unsaturated esters and aldehydes used in the fragrance industry.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying olfactory receptors, organic synthesis pathways, and new compound development.
