  • Applications

    Ethyl 3-(furan-2-yl)propionate (CAS 10031-90-0) is a versatile flavor and fragrance ester valued in food, beverage and cosmetics applications for its soft, ripe-fruit, caramel, bakery-like aroma, commonly added to confectionery, fortified dairy, beer and spirit flavors, perfumes and personal-care goods to deepen sensory profiles, while also serving as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and specialty furan-based chemicals, supporting molecular optimization in biomaterials research, and being explored as a natural aroma marker in microencapsulation and smart-packaging technologies designed to extend product shelf life.
