Used primarily as a flavoring agent due to its potent earthy, potato-like aroma. Commonly found in roasted foods such as coffee, nuts, and potatoes, it enhances savory and roasted notes in food products. Widely applied in the flavor and fragrance industry to create natural and artificial flavor blends. Also used in the development of aroma chemicals for processed foods, snacks, and seasonings to improve overall flavor profile and authenticity. Its low odor threshold makes it effective at very low concentrations.
