Applications
Its primary and most important use is in the flavor and fragrance industry.
- Flavorings: It is a highly valuable ingredient for creating savory flavor profiles. It is used in:
- Meat Flavors: For replicating and enhancing the taste of beef, chicken, and pork in soups, sauces, gravies, snacks, and processed meats.
- Savory Blends: To add depth and "umami" character to various food products.
- Roasted Nut Flavors: Contributes to the authentic roasted note.
- Fragrances: Used in trace amounts to add savory, complex nuances to certain fragrance compositions, though its use is more limited in perfumery than in flavors due to its potent food-associated scent.
- Potency: Due to its extremely low odor threshold, it is always used in highly diluted forms, often in the ppm or ppb range in the final product.
