3,5-Dimethyl-2-Ethylpyrazine Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

3-(Methylthio)propyl acetate is an organosulfur compound that is both an ester and a thioether. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a complex and impactful aroma. This compound is highly valued in the flavor and fragrance industry for its unique profile, which combines fruity (especially pineapple, blackcurrant, passionfruit) and savory notes with a distinct sulfury, green, or even oniony nuance. It is a key impact aroma chemical, often used at very low concentrations.

Main Uses:

1. Flavor and Fragrance Industry: 3-(Methylthio)propyl acetate is extensively used as a key ingredient in both flavor and fragrance formulations. Its multifaceted aroma makes it versatile for creating unique sensory experiences.

2. Food Flavoring (Fruity Notes): It is a crucial component in developing realistic and impactful fruit flavors, particularly for tropical fruits like pineapple, passionfruit, and guava, as well as berries like blackcurrant. It adds a desirable fruity “lift” and authenticity.

3. Food Flavoring (Savory Notes): Despite its fruity aspects, its sulfurous character also allows it to be used in savory applications, contributing to meaty, oniony, or garlic-like notes in complex food flavorings for snacks, sauces, and processed foods.

4. Confectionery and Beverages: It finds application in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages to enhance or create specific fruit profiles and add complexity to overall flavor compositions.

5. Fragrances: In perfumery, small amounts can be used to introduce interesting fruity, green, or slightly sulfury nuances, particularly in modern and abstract fragrance compositions.
