Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance compound, this chemical imparts a nutty, roasted, or earthy aroma. It is commonly found in food products to enhance savory notes, especially in roasted nuts, coffee, and cooked meats. Frequently added to flavor formulations for snacks, seasonings, and processed foods to create a rich, roasted character. Also used in perfumery to add depth and warmth to fragrance blends, particularly in niche or natural-smelling scents. Its strong aroma means it is effective at low concentrations, making it valuable in both food and fragrance industries.
