  • Applications

    gamma-Asarone is primarily employed as an aroma odorant in the perfume and cosmetics industry, serving as a fragrance component in essential-oil-derived blends and in personal care products. It is also encountered in some household cleaning and air-freshening formulations as a fragrance ingredient. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as an intermediate or building block in the synthesis of aroma chemicals. Use is subject to safety considerations and local regulations, and formulation limits apply.
