Description :
Para-Anisyl Methyl Ketone, also known as p-methoxyacetophenone, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral, and slightly anisic aroma. Its molecular formula is C9H10O2, and it is widely used in fragrance and flavor formulations for its pleasant aromatic profile. PAMK serves as a key building block in synthetic perfumery and is known for enhancing floral, fruity, and oriental notes.
Imparts a soft, sweet, floral, and slightly spicy aroma to perfumes, body sprays, and colognes.
Often blended with aroma chemicals like Benzyl Benzoate BP, Amyl Salicylate, and Methyl 10-Undecenoate to create balanced, long-lasting fragrance compositions.
Acts as an intermediate for the synthesis of more complex aromatic molecules in perfumery R&D.
Used as a flavoring agent in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages, providing a delicate, sweet, and vanilla-like nuance.
Compatible with esters like Methyl Hexanoate and aldehydes like Orange Aldehyde to enhance fruity and sweet flavor profiles.
Included in lotions, creams, and shampoos to impart soft floral and sweet notes.
Enhances the aroma experience in personal care formulations, making products more appealing to consumers.
Serves as a synthetic intermediate in the production of fine fragrance chemicals and aroma derivatives.
Used in laboratory and pilot-scale R&D for developing new fragrance molecules.
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sunlight and oxidizing agents.
Avoid skin contact and inhalation; wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing.
Keep containers tightly sealed to maintain purity and prevent degradation.
