It is commonly found in processed foods, seasonings, and meat substitutes to enhance umami character. Due to its ability to mimic natural cooking aromas, it is also utilized in pet food formulations to improve palatability. In perfumery, it serves as a modifier in complex scent compositions, adding depth and warmth to certain fragrance blends.
