Description

Ethyl 2,6-Decadienoate is a high-purity ester compound with a distinctive fruity, pear-like aroma, making it a valuable intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to impart natural, fresh top notes in sophisticated flavor and fragrance compositions. This product is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as for research and development in organic synthesis and aroma chemistry.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Industry: A key component in creating and enhancing fruity, pear, and tropical flavor profiles for food, beverages, and confectionery.
• Perfumery: Used as a fragrance ingredient in fine fragrances, personal care products, and household cleaners to add fresh, green, and fruity olfactory notes.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate or starting material for the synthesis of more complex aroma molecules and other fine chemicals.
• Food Additive Production: Employed in the manufacturing of synthetic flavorings that comply with food-grade regulations (e.g., FCC, JECFA).
• Research & Development: Used in academic and industrial R&D labs for studying ester chemistry, olfactory receptors, and developing new sensory compounds.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2,6-Decadienoate is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We prioritize compliance with relevant industry standards for flavor and fragrance ingredients. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, identity, and organoleptic properties, is provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and quality assurance for your production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve stability and shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
