Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate CAS# 3681-71-8

Refreshing Fruity-Green Notes

It lends a bright, fresh green-fruity taste when dosed below 10 ppm.

Authentic Intense Banana Scent

A clean, prominent banana aroma stands out at concentrations less than 2 ppm.

Excellent Flavor Synergy

When blended with allyl isothiocyanate, it generates a one-of-a-kind green unripe banana profile.

Multi-Dimensional Flavor Tuning

Even at low addition rates, it builds full, well-rounded flavor layers, perfect for boosting the taste of food and beverages.

This acetate ester is produced through the condensation of acetic acid and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol. It exhibits a pleasant green-fruity taste below 10 ppm and a clear banana aroma at concentrations under 2 ppm. It pairs well with other aroma chemicals to craft custom compound fragrances.

As a practical formulation reference: mixing roughly 1 ppm cis-3-hexenyl acetate with 0.05 ppm allyl isothiocyanate (allyl mustard oil) produces a vivid unripe banana aroma accented by bright green fruit tones. The resulting blend delivers a clean banana core with no perceptible pungent mustard aftertaste. Used separately at these low dosages, neither ingredient can achieve a full, well-developed flavor on its own.
