Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance additive due to its strong fatty, waxy, and citrus-like aroma with green fruity nuances. Commonly found in food products to impart or enhance citrus and fruit flavors, especially in orange, grapefruit, and other citrus-based formulations. Also used in perfumery to add fresh, green, and slightly metallic top notes to fragrance compositions. Its potent odor makes it effective at low concentrations in both edible and aromatic applications.
