Used primarily in the food and fragrance industries as a flavoring agent due to its strong roasted, nutty, and popcorn-like aroma. It enhances the sensory profile of various products, including snacks, baked goods, and savory dishes. Additionally, it is employed in perfumery to add depth and complexity to scents, particularly in creating warm, toasted, or gourmand fragrances. Its potent aroma makes it a valuable component in both synthetic and natural flavor formulations.
