Overview of 3-Mercaptohexyl Acetate

3-Mercaptohexyl Acetate is a highly valued sulfur-containing aroma compound known for its natural fruity and tropical odor profile. It exhibits distinct notes reminiscent of passion fruit, grapefruit, guava, and boxwood, making it a key ingredient in fine fragrances, flavors, and perfumery compositions. Its complex and exotic aroma adds depth, realism, and freshness to both natural and synthetic formulations.

This compound is commonly used in high-end perfumes, fruit-flavored beverages, and food flavoring systems where natural fruity and green characteristics are desired.
