Description :
4-Methylthiazole is a colourless to pale yellow liquid. It has a roasted, nutty, and meaty odour. This heterocyclic compound contains nitrogen and sulfur atoms. It is used in flavour, fragrance, and chemical industries.
Its savoury, slightly caramelised-smoky notes make it ideal for adding depth in umami-rich flavour profiles or enhancing warmth in perfumery compositions.
4-Methylthiazole is a common flavouring compound that provides meaty, roasty, nutty, or coffee-like characteristics. It adds umami and grilled flavour to products like soups, sauces, snacks, and meat alternatives. It is also employed in formulations related to roasted nuts, cocoa, and baked flavours.
In the fragrance sector, 4-Methylthiazole is known and utilised in contributing a warm, smoky, and leathery accent to oriental and woody fragrance mixtures. It adds a depth and slight animalic quality to complex or richer perfume bases. You may enjoy keeping things similar to Rosalva and Linalyl Formate.
It is also an important intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and speciality aroma materials. Within heterocyclic chemistry, it possesses a reactive nitrogen-sulfur structure that offers lots of opportunities for unique chemical transformations.
