  • Applications

    Propyl 2-furoate (CAS 615-10-1) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing fruity notes and sometimes functioning as a minor fixative in formulations; it also finds application in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners to impart a pleasant aroma. In food processing, it may be used as a flavor/aroma compound where permitted by regulations; in industrial coatings and inks, it can serve as a fragrance additive to impart characteristic scents. Because it is an ester of 2-furoic acid, its use is generally determined by formulation needs and regulatory restrictions, and may be subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
