Used as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its fruity, floral, and slightly waxy aroma. Commonly found in artificial fruit flavors, especially in apple, banana, and cherry flavor formulations, as well as in products like candies, juices, and desserts. Also utilized in perfumery and cosmetics for adding green, fresh, and refreshing notes to fragrance compositions, providing a volatile scent suitable for initial aroma. Acts as a solvent or plasticizer in some industrial applications, particularly in coatings and resins where moderate evaporation rate and solvency are required.
