  • Applications

    1,3-p-Menthadien-7-al (CAS 1197-15-5) is a monoterpene aldehyde widely used as a fragrance ingredient imparting citrus–herbal, minty notes in fine fragrances, personal care, soaps, detergents, and household cleaners; as a trace-level flavoring for beverages, confectionery, chewing gum, baked goods, and dairy; as a synthesis intermediate in the aroma/flavor industry to produce the corresponding alcohol, oxime and derivatives (e.g., a precursor to the high-intensity sweetener perillartine), as well as related esters, acids, and epoxides; it is also investigated/applied for antimicrobial, antifungal, insect-repellent, and antioxidant effects to help preserve flavor systems, foods, and organic materials; it supports research into terpene-derived pharmacological leads and controlled-release aroma systems; and its use should follow IFRA/FEMA guidance with safety assessment for irritation and sensitization typical of reactive aldehydes.
