Acetaldehyde

Acetaldehyde (CAS 75-07-0 ), also known as ethyl aldehyde and acetic aldehyde, is a short-chain aldehyde used primarily as a chemical intermediate and flavoring agent across food, fragrance, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its reactive carbonyl group makes it a building block for synthesizing a broad range of downstream compounds at industrial scale. In food and beverage production, this compound contributes fresh, fruity, and ethereal notes. Known by FEMA 2003 , it is essential to flavor formulations, particularly in dairy, fruit, and alcoholic beverage profiles. Fragrance manufacturers use it as an intermediate in aldehyde-based perfume accords. It supports the characteristic clean, soapy top notes found in classic fine fragrance compositions. In pharmaceutical synthesis, it functions as a precursor in the production of acetic acid and pyridine derivatives. The material is also used for other active pharmaceutical intermediates. It sees use as a preservative intermediate in certain industrial applications where controlled antimicrobial action is required during processing. The product is supplied as a liquefied, low-boiling liquid, typically handled and shipped under refrigeration or pressure. Food-grade material conforming to FCC specifications is available for flavor applications. Technical-grade material is supplied for industrial synthesis and chemical manufacturing use. This ensures high purity and reliability for large-scale production requirements across various global industrial sectors. Contact us for supply of Acetaldehyde Request Quote
