Description :
2,4-Decadienal is an unsaturated aldehyde widely used in the flavour and fragrance industry. It is known for its strong, fatty, and fried aroma with a hint of citrus, commonly found in fried foods, snacks, and savoury formulations. Its molecular formula is C10H16O. It dissolves well in most organic solvents but poorly in water. This makes it useful in aroma creation, flavour enhancement, and other industrial applications.
2,4-Decadienal is a cornerstone ingredient in food flavourings due to its ability to replicate cooked or fried notes.
Often blended with 2-Nonanone, 10-Undecenal, and Methyl Hexanoate for complex, natural flavour profiles.
Used in small concentrations to provide fatty, aldehydic top notes in perfumes and colognes.
Combined with aroma chemicals like Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde and Geranyl Caproate for balanced fragrance compositions.
Acts as an intermediate for synthesising speciality chemicals and aroma compounds.
Extensively used in R&D laboratories for testing aldehyde reactivity in flavour and fragrance formulations.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat and oxidising agents.
Use protective gloves, goggles, and clothing while handling.
Avoid direct inhalation, skin contact, and eye exposure.
Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain purity and prevent degradation.
