Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance additive in the food and cosmetic industries due to its fresh, earthy, and mushroom-like aroma. It is a key component in creating natural flavor profiles in savory foods, including soups, sauces, and meat products. Frequently employed in perfumery to impart green, herbal, or fungal notes in fragrance compositions. Also serves as a semiochemical in agricultural and environmental sciences, acting as an attractant for certain insects, making it useful in pest monitoring and control systems.
