  • Applications

    (E)-5-Decenyl acetate, CAS 38421-90-8, is a long-chain unsaturated ester commonly used in fragrance chemistry as a fragrance ingredient and odorant, often contributing green, waxy, or floral notes and sometimes serving as a fixative to extend fragrance longevity. It may be used in flavor formulations as a flavor component or aroma additive. In cosmetics and personal care, it is typically incorporated within fragrance systems for creams, lotions, and other scented products. It can also appear in household products where it provides characteristic fragrance in cleaners and air fresheners. Additionally, as a specialty chemical intermediate in industrial manufacturing and fragrance synthesis, it can serve as a building block for further fragrance compounds. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
