Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance additive due to its strong fruity, green, and apple-like aroma. Commonly found in artificial flavorings for fruit-based foods and beverages. Frequently used in perfumery to impart fresh, green notes in floral and fruity scents. Also serves as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of more complex aroma compounds. Its natural occurrence in some essential oils makes it valuable in natural product formulations.
