  • Applications

    cis-3-Hexenyl benzoate (CAS 25152-85-6) is a distinctive leafy-green ester widely utilized in the flavour and fragrance industry to impart fresh, fruity, cut-grass nuances to fine perfumes, air-care sprays, scented candles, shampoos, shower gels, soaps and household cleaners; in food and beverage applications it functions as a natural flavour enhancer, reinforcing the crisp green character of apple, pear, melon, tea, mint and herbal profiles; within agriculture and crop-protection research the molecule acts as a semiochemical mimic of wounded-leaf volatiles, supporting studies on plant–insect communication and the development of predator attractants, pest lures or repellents; in volatile-analysis laboratories it serves as a reference standard for authenticity testing of natural aromas; furthermore, its high thermal stability and excellent miscibility make cis-3-Hexenyl benzoate a preferred ingredient for long-lasting fragrance formulations, micro-encapsulation and next-generation delivery systems in functional foods, e-cigarette liquids, chewing gums and active packaging.
