Description :
Trans-2-Octenal is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that smells strongly of odorous compounds that can be found in citrus oils, roasted foods, and animal fats. Trans-2-Octenal is widely used in the flavor, fragrance, and chemical industries because it has a strong smell and reacts with other chemicals. It smells of fat, green, and a small quantity of citrus. It is an unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde. This compound provides fresh, aldehydic, and green notes, often described as citrus-peel or fatty-orange. It plays an important role in creating natural fruit and vegetable profiles in both flavor and fragrance compositions.
Trans-2-Octenal is a valuable ingredient in citrus, nut, and vegetable flavor formulations. It provides natural, fatty, and citrus-like nuances to snacks, baked goods, dairy products, and beverages. It is used in trace amounts to replicate the freshness of natural fruits and cooked food aromas. Explore other flavoring compounds like Ethyl Isovalerate and Pentanoic Acid.
