Oct-2-Enal Typical Properties

Product Introduction:

Oct-2-Enal, more commonly known as 2-Octenal or trans-2-Octenal, is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a powerful and characteristic aroma. This compound is a significant aroma chemical, renowned for its strong fatty, green, fresh, waxy, and slightly citrusy notes, often described with nuances of cucumber, melon, or nuts.

It is naturally present in various foods, including cooked meats, dairy products, and certain fruits and vegetables, contributing to their characteristic flavors. Its very low odor threshold makes it highly impactful even at trace levels.

Main Uses:

1. Flavor and Fragrance Industry: 2-Octenal is a highly valued aroma chemical in both flavor and fragrance formulations, essential for imparting specific fatty, green, fresh, or waxy notes.

2. Food Flavoring (Fatty & Green Notes): It is indispensable for creating or enhancing fatty, cooked, and green notes in a wide range of food products. It is crucial for developing authentic flavors in oils, fats, snacks, meat products (e.g., chicken, pork), dairy products, and fresh vegetable preparations (e.g., cucumber, melon).

3. Meat & Savory Flavors: It plays a significant role in developing savory flavors, contributing to cooked meat, poultry, and fish profiles, and adding a desirable ‘fatty’ character.

4. Fruity & Vegetable Flavoring: Its fresh and green nuances make it valuable in certain fruit (e.g., apple, pear, melon) and vegetable flavor formulations.

5. Fragrances: In perfumery, 2-Octenal is used to add naturalistic green, fatty, fresh aldehydic, or slightly citrusy facets to compositions, particularly in fresh, green, aldehydic, or “outdoor” fragrances.
