| use | is more suitable for the head fragrance of aldehyde fragrance, but the dosage should not be too large. It can be used in a small amount in tuberose, grass orchid, honeysuckle, jasmine, high-grade flower type, perfume type, aldehyde type and fantasy type essence; it is the raw material of modern perfume type, smoke type, ambergris and amber type. Occasionally, it can also be used in trace amounts for edible flavors. GB 2760-1996 provisions are allowed to use edible spices. Mainly used to prepare citrus, coconut, apricot, pineapple and other flavors. This product has a strong citrus aroma and ambergris. It is used for the preparation of jasmine, dragon salivation, vegetarian blue and other flavors, and is used as a raw material for making up, soap and edible flavors. |
| Production method | It is obtained by the reaction of mononone and halogenated acid ester under the action of condensing agent. It is obtained by the reaction of methyl nonone or α-nonyl acrolein and ethyl monochloroacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide. It can be obtained by cleavage of the corresponding glycidyl acid (glycidic acid). |
