Description
Methyl heptine carbonate (CAS 111-12-6, EC 203-836-6) is a synthetic ester used in flavor and fragrance applications, commercially known under the trade names Folione and referenced as FEMA 2729. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29161900.
In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, methyl heptine carbonate contributes a sharp violet-leaf character at low concentrations, functioning as a top-note modifier that extends the perception of green and floral accords. In food flavoring, it is applied at trace levels to replicate violet and berry nuances in confectionery and beverage systems.
The material is supplied as a neat liquid conforming to REACH registration requirements for the European market. It is soluble in most fixed oils and in 70% alcohol, supporting direct incorporation into both oil-phase and alcohol-based formulations. Packaging formats and available grades can be confirmed upon request.
