Used as a flavoring agent in food and beverage applications due to its smoky, phenolic aroma. Commonly applied in the formulation of artificial smoke flavors for meat products, seasonings, and snacks. Also utilized in fragrance compositions for its warm, balsamic, and medicinal notes, particularly in niche perfumery and aroma chemicals. The solution format ensures easier handling and dispersion in both aqueous and oily systems. Suitable for controlled release in flavor delivery systems and in the synthesis of specialty polymers with unique thermal or sensory properties.
