Widely used in the flavor and fragrance industry, this compound contributes a sweet, caramel-like, or maple syrup-like aroma. It is commonly found in food flavorings, especially in products designed to mimic cooked or baked notes, such as in dairy, confectionery, and meat flavors. Due to its potent odor and taste at low concentrations, it is effective in enhancing overall flavor profiles. It also appears in some fragrance formulations for consumer products like soaps and cosmetics, where a warm, sweet nuance is desired.
