It has a sweet sugary, caramelised, jammy, strawberry-like odour reminiscent of candyfloss. It is a very powerful ingredient normally used at high dilution for sweetening blends or in conjunction with vanilla notes to create a rich, edible scent.
Uses: Small amounts used alongside the volatile fruity esters contribute to realistic fruit accords, particularly pineapple, strawberry, peach, nectarine and apricot types.
