Used primarily as a flavoring agent due to its potent earthy, nutty, and roasted aroma. Found in food products such as potato chips, roasted nuts, and sauces to enhance savory notes. Also employed in the fragrance industry to add natural, food-like nuances in perfume blends. Frequently used in flavor research and development for creating meat, vegetable, and snack food flavors. Effective at very low concentrations, making it valuable for fine-tuning flavor profiles.
