Product Description
This ester compound originates from the condensation reaction between acetic acid and (Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol. It delivers delicate fruity-green sensory notes when dosed below 10 ppm, and reveals clear banana like aroma characteristics at concentrations less than 2 ppm.
It exhibits outstanding blending compatibility with other aroma ingredients. For instance, mixing roughly 1 ppm cis-3-hexenyl acetate with merely 0.05 ppm allyl isothiocyanate yields a special under ripe banana profile marked by bright green-fruity nuances. The resulting blend presents authentic banana notes without noticeable mustard off notes. Individually, either component only offers faint, underdeveloped flavor perception at these low usage levels.
