Piperonal
Description
Piperonal (CAS 120-57-0 ), also known as heliotropin, is a benzodioxole aldehyde widely recognized in the flavor and fragrance industry for its characteristic sweet, floral, cherry-like scent. FEMA 2911 status confirms its approval as a flavoring agent for food applications. It functions as a key aromatic building block in both synthetic fragrance compounding and food flavor formulation. In fragrance manufacturing, it is used to impart heliotrope and powdery floral notes in fine perfumery, soaps, and cosmetic formulations. Food and beverage producers incorporate it as a flavoring agent. It is used to deliver cherry, vanilla-adjacent, and sweet floral profiles in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. Personal care formulators use it in scented lotions, shampoos, and body care products. This material is ideal where stable, long-lasting floral character is required. In printing and packaging, it appears as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty aroma chemicals and certain dye components. The product is commercially available as a white to off-white crystalline solid. Standard supply grades include food-grade and fragrance-grade material, with purity typically at 99% or higher for applications. Bulk quantities are offered in fiber drums or bags, with smaller packaging available for laboratory and formulation use. This ensures versatility for both large-scale manufacturing and specialized research needs. Contact us for supply of Piperonal Request Quote
