What is the difference between Methyl Ionone Gamma (70%) and Methyl Ionone Gamma (95%) in fragrance formulation?
Answer
Difference Between Methyl Ionone Gamma (70%) and (95%)
The primary difference between Methyl Ionone Gamma (70%) (also known as Isoraldeine 70) and Methyl Ionone Gamma (95%) (also known as Isoraldeine 95) lies in their purity level.
- Purity: The 95% version is more pure, containing 95% of the target compound, while the 70% version contains 70%.
- Scent Profile: The remaining percentage (30% in the 70% version and 5% in the 95% version) consists of other related compounds or impurities from the synthesis/extraction process. These other components, even in small amounts, can subtly alter the overall scent profile. While both will have a similar core scent tone, the specific nuances of the fragrance will differ between the two purity levels.
Neither version is inherently better than the other. When developing a fragrance formulation, it's important for the formulator to evaluate both versions to determine which specific scent characteristic is most suitable for their particular formula.
