  • Applications

    Tetradec-13-enal (CAS 85896-31-7) is a long‑chain unsaturated aldehyde with fatty, waxy, citrus‑peel and green nuances, used primarily as a fragrance ingredient to lift aldehydic, citrus and “clean” facets in fine fragrances, personal care, air care, and fabric/home care; in flavor applications, at trace levels it reinforces citrus, melon, creamy‑fatty and rind‑like notes in confectionery, beverages and baked goods (under applicable safety guidelines), and it serves as a versatile intermediate for synthesizing aroma ingredients and pro‑fragrance derivatives; it is also employed in pheromone‑based insect monitoring/attractant formulations, in research on olfaction and structure–odor relationships, and as a reference/marker in GC/MS analysis of complex aroma mixtures; formulators value its diffusion and blooming effect and its ability to bridge aldehydic notes with woody–musky bases to enhance cleanliness in complex matrices, while co‑modifiers are used to manage sensory impact and stability; use should be accompanied by appropriate safety assessment, labeling, and storage due to aldehyde reactivity.
