  • Applications

    (E,E)-3,5-Octadien-2-one (CAS 30086-02-3) is a straight-chain α,β-unsaturated ketone with a powerful odor, used mainly in flavor and fragrance: in flavors it boosts green, fatty–fried, roasted–nutty, fruity and slightly meaty nuances in snacks, broths, meat–poultry–seafood, baked goods, chocolate–nut profiles, beverages and herbal/anise notes at trace levels; in perfumery it adds green–herbal, soft fatty facets to citrus, aldehydic, fougère and marine accords; in laboratories it serves as an analytical reference/calibration standard for GC/GC-MS in flavor chemistry, for lipid-oxidation and antioxidant studies, and as a useful building block in organic synthesis (Michael acceptor for conjugate additions, reduction/condensation routes to more complex enone/dienone derivatives); typical use requires very low dosages due to a low odor threshold and high sensory impact, with storage under inert, light-protected conditions to minimize oxidation and polymerization.
