Description

Fema 3078 CAS NO 99-72-9 is a high-purity organic compound, specifically 4-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid, valued for its role as a versatile flavor and fragrance intermediate. This material is essential for creating specific fruity, cheesy, and dairy-like notes in complex aroma profiles. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, food ingredient, and specialty chemical synthesis industries.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key building block for synthesizing esters and other aroma chemicals that impart fruity, creamy, or cheesy nuances in food flavors, beverages, and perfumery.
• Food Ingredient Manufacturing: Used in the production of process flavors and reaction flavors to enhance savory, dairy, or meat-like taste profiles.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable chiral intermediate or precursor in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Research & Development: Employed in analytical laboratories and R&D centers for method development, reference standards, and novel compound exploration.
