Used as a flavoring agent in food and beverage industries due to its potent roasted, nutty, and earthy aroma. It contributes to the characteristic smell in roasted nuts, coffee, and certain processed foods. Commonly added in small quantities to enhance savory flavors in meat products, snacks, and seasonings. Also utilized in the formulation of perfumes and fragrances where a warm, roasted note is desired. Its high odor impact at low concentrations makes it valuable in flavor chemistry for creating complex aroma profiles.
