Description

Ethyl (Z)-4-Decenoate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester characterized by its distinct fruity, waxy aroma. This compound is valued for its role as a key flavor and fragrance intermediate, offering a versatile olfactory profile for sophisticated product formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food & beverage, and cosmetic industries seeking to create or enhance complex, natural-smelling aromas.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A primary building block for creating and modifying fruity, waxy, and creamy notes in perfumes, colognes, and fine fragrances.
• Food & Beverage Flavoring: Used as a synthetic flavoring agent to impart or enhance fruity nuances in beverages, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated as a fragrance component in lotions, creams, soaps, and other scented personal care formulations.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the organic synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and specialty esters.
• Industrial & Functional Fluids: Potential application as a specialty solvent or additive in high-performance lubricants and functional fluids due to its ester structure.
