description Product Description
Used in the synthesis of esters for flavor and fragrance applications, valeric acid contributes to the production of fruity and creamy aromas in food and perfumery. It serves as a precursor in the manufacture of plasticizers and lubricants, enhancing the performance of industrial fluids. In pharmaceuticals, it is involved in the development of sedative and anticonvulsant agents due to its central nervous system effects. It is also utilized in research settings to study metabolic pathways and microbial fermentation processes.
