Five sulfur-containing flavor compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 4-ethyloctanoyl chloride with sulfur-containing alcohols or mercaptans. 4-ethyloctanoic acid is identified from flue-cured Virginia tobacco. Mainly used as daily flavor,food flavor,industrial flavor, nutrient, stabilizers, surfactants and emulsifiers.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
