  • Applications

    Furfuryl propionate (CAS 623-19-8) is a versatile aroma ester prized for its warm caramel, roasted-nut and ripe-fruit facets, finding use in flavour systems for rum, cocoa, coffee, beverages, confectionery, dairy and savoury products; in tobacco blends it softens smoke and imparts sweetness; in cosmetics and perfumery it acts as a gourmand bridge that lengthens longevity in niche perfumes, shampoos, shower gels, scented candles and deodorants; in materials science it functions as a reactive solvent and modifier for furan and alkyd resins, corrosion-resistant coatings and foundry binders, improving thermal stability and adhesion; it also serves as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, surfactants and bio-based polymers derived from furfural, supporting the move toward renewable feedstocks; low volatility and a favourable odour-safety profile make it a preferred ingredient in IFRA and FEMA compliant preparations.
