Description

Amylcinnamaldehyde (CAS 122-40-7), also known as jasmine aldehyde or jasminal, is a synthetic aromatic aldehyde used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient across personal care, food, and industrial applications. FEMA 2061 listed, it delivers a characteristic floral-jasmine note that anchors perfume compositions and flavoring systems alike. In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, it functions as a key floral modifier.

It is used in soaps, shampoos, lotions, and eau de toilette, contributing lasting jasmine character at relatively low use levels. Food and beverage manufacturers incorporate it as a flavoring agent in various products. It is utilized in confectionery, baked goods, and fruit preparations where a soft floral-sweet profile is required. In plastics and polymer processing, it is evaluated as a UV stabilizer additive for light-absorption.

Its conjugated aldehyde structure contributes to functionality in film and packaging applications. Printing ink formulators also explore it as a UV-protective component in specialty coating systems. Amylcinnamaldehyde is supplied as a pale yellow to amber liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade (FCC-compliant) specifications to meet the distinct purity requirements of manufacturing.

These specifications ensure suitability for cosmetic and food manufacturing supply chains. Standard packaging ranges from small drums to bulk IBC quantities depending on the specific application volume required.
