Description

Ethyl trans-2-Decenoate is a high-purity ester compound, specifically the ethyl ester of trans-2-decenoic acid. This specialty chemical is valued for its role as a versatile flavor and fragrance intermediate, offering a unique fatty, waxy, and fruity olfactory character. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food, and cosmetic industries seeking to create complex, natural-tasting profiles or functional ingredients.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key building block for synthesizing complex aroma chemicals, imparting fatty, waxy, and fruity notes to perfumes, cosmetics, and fine fragrances.
• Food Flavoring: Used as an intermediate in the production of artificial flavors that replicate the taste of fruits, dairy products, and other fatty foods.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as an emollient or fragrance component in creams, lotions, and other skincare formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Research & Development: Utilized in analytical laboratories and R&D facilities as a reference standard or for developing new synthetic pathways.
