Used primarily as a flavoring agent in food and fragrance industries due to its strong, roasted, nutty, and meat-like aroma. It enhances savory notes in processed foods, including soups, sauces, snacks, and seasonings. Commonly found in meat and poultry flavor formulations, where it contributes to the perception of grilled or cooked character. Also utilized in pet food to boost palatability. Its high impact odor makes it effective at low concentrations, often used in trace amounts to achieve desired sensory effects.
