Description

trans-3-Oxo-α-Ionol is a high-purity, specialized fragrance and flavor intermediate. This compound is valued for its unique organoleptic properties, contributing to complex woody, floral, and fruity notes in fine perfumery and flavor creation. It is a critical building block for the synthesis of advanced aroma chemicals used by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and food ingredient industries seeking to develop sophisticated and natural-tasting profiles.

Application

• Fragrance Industry: A key intermediate for synthesizing premium aroma chemicals, imparting woody, amber, and floral nuances in fine perfumes, personal care products, and home fragrances.
• Flavor Industry: Used in the creation of complex flavoring agents, particularly for enhancing fruity, berry, and tropical notes in beverages, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Food Ingredient Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for manufacturing natural-identical flavoring substances that comply with food safety regulations (e.g., FCC, JECFA).
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into the synthesis of specialty ingredients for high-end skincare and cosmetic formulations where specific scent profiles are required.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-odor relationships and developing novel fragrance molecules.
• Tobacco Flavoring: Applied in the development of flavorings for tobacco products to enhance and modify sensory characteristics.

Quality Control

Our trans-3-Oxo-α-Ionol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and HPLC analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent organoleptic quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, keeping under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to maintain optimal stability and purity.
