  • Applications

    As a long-chain aldehyde with a (Z) configuration, (Z)-8-Pentadecenal is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and personal care products, and it also serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of aroma compounds and insect pheromones for agricultural and pheromone research applications. It is also considered for flavor formulations and for inclusion in household fragrance products such as air fresheners and cleaners; in industrial manufacturing it can act as a building block or intermediate for related aroma or specialty chemical syntheses.
