  • Applications

    Methyl thiooctanoate is primarily used as an aroma compound and odorant with applications in perfumery and flavor formulations to impart fruity, tropical notes. It may also be used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, and as a scent component in household cleaners and air fresheners. In industrial manufacturing it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other sulfur-containing esters, and in coatings and inks as a fragrance additive to improve scent profiles. Its use is typically formulation-dependent and subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
