Description

3-Hexenyl-β-Glucopyranoside is a glycosidic compound derived from the enzymatic or chemical conjugation of glucose with a green leaf alcohol moiety. This molecule matters for its role as a natural, non-volatile precursor to key aroma compounds, offering controlled release and enhanced stability in formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as researchers in green chemistry and plant biochemistry seeking advanced bioconjugates.

Application

• As a precursor for green, grassy, and fresh aroma notes in fine fragrances and personal care products.
• Used in the development of controlled-release flavor systems for food and beverage applications.
• As a standard or reference compound in analytical chemistry and quality control laboratories.
• In research on plant volatile biosynthesis and glycosidically-bound aroma compounds.
• As a specialty intermediate for the synthesis of more complex glycosides and aroma chemicals.
• Potential use in natural product formulations where a stable, non-volatile form of leaf alcohol is required.

Quality Control

Our 3-Hexenyl-β-Glucopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and related substances are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture uptake and potential degradation.
