This aldehyde finds use in flavor compositions, not only in spicy types, but also in nut compositions, chocolate, fruit, etc. and occasionally in maple-walnut.
The aldehyde is, to the author’s knowledge, not used in perfumery, although it could find interest as a variant of the equivalent aldehyde: alpha-Methylcinnamic aldehyde.
The concentration used is about 0.5 to 1 ppm in the finished product.
Produced by condensation of furfural and propionaldehyde.
