Used primarily in the flavor and fragrance industry, this compound is valued for its strong meaty, roasted, and savory aroma. It is commonly added to food products such as soups, sauces, snacks, and processed meats to enhance their flavor profile. Additionally, it finds application in the creation of savory flavorings for vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes, providing a realistic meat-like taste. Its potent aroma also makes it useful in small quantities in perfumery to add depth and complexity to certain fragrance compositions.
