Used as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its fruity, citrus-like aroma. Commonly found in artificial flavor formulations for citrus-flavored products such as beverages, candies, and desserts. Also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, including fragrances and specialty esters. Its moderate volatility and stability make it suitable for use in perfumery for enhancing fruity notes. Additionally, it functions as a solvent in some coating and ink formulations where mild evaporation rates are desired.
