Used primarily as a flavoring agent in the food industry due to its fruity and estery aroma. It imparts apple-like and pineapple-like notes, making it valuable in creating artificial fruit flavors for candies, beverages, and desserts. Also found in some fragrance compositions for cosmetics and soaps, where it adds a fresh, sweet, and slightly green fruity character. Its volatility and stability make it suitable for both aqueous and fat-based systems in flavor formulations.
