Used in flavor and fragrance formulations for its earthy, nutty, and roasted aroma. Commonly added to enhance the smell and taste of food products such as roasted nuts, coffee, chocolate, and savory snacks. Also employed in perfumery to add natural, warm nuances to fragrance blends. Due to its strong odor, it is effective at low concentrations and often used in trace amounts to avoid overpowering the final product.
