Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance ingredient due to its strong citrus-like, waxy, and fatty aroma. Commonly found in citrus-flavored food products and beverages to enhance orange or tangerine notes. Also employed in perfumery for adding fresh, green, and aldehydic top notes in fine fragrances and functional products like detergents and air fresheners. Its potent odor makes it effective at low concentrations. Often used in combination with other aldehydes and essential oils to create natural-appearing citrus accords.
