  • Applications

    Dihydromintlactone (CAS 92015-65-1) is primarily used as an odorant and fragrance ingredient and as an intermediate for synthesizing fragrance compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a fragrance component in products such as creams, lotions, shampoos, and perfumes. In household products, it contributes to fragrance profiles in cleaners and air fresheners. In the flavor/aroma sector, it may be evaluated for use as a flavor/aroma ingredient where permitted. In industrial manufacturing, it is used as an intermediate for fragrance compound production and related specialty chemicals.
