Overview of 3-Octanol

3-Octanol is a secondary alcohol with a subtle, floral, and slightly citrus aroma. Due to its pleasant scent and physical properties, it is commonly used in the fragrance and flavour industry, as well as in the production of solvents and plasticizers. Its balanced volatility makes it a versatile ingredient in both industrial and consumer applications.

 

Applications of 3-Octanol

  • Fragrance and Perfume Industry: Used as a middle-note component in perfumes and colognes for its mild, long-lasting scent.
  • Flavour Industry: Acts as a flavouring agent in food and beverages, delivering a mild, fruity taste.
  • Cosmetic Products: These are included in creams, lotions, and shampoos for their fragrance and emollient qualities.
  • Industrial Solvents: Serves as a solvent and intermediate in the production of esters and plasticizers.
