Used primarily as a flavoring agent due to its nutty, roasted, and earthy aroma. Commonly found in food products such as roasted nuts, coffee, chocolate, and snack foods to enhance savory or toasted notes. Also applied in the formulation of artificial flavors and seasonings, especially in meat and potato-based products. Frequently used in small concentrations in the fragrance industry to add depth and realism to food-related scents in consumer products.
