Product Description
This acetate is produced by the condensation of acetic acid and (Z)-hex-3-ene-1-ol. At levels below 10 ppm, it provides a pleasant fruity-green flavor, while below 2 ppm it gives a clear banana-like aroma. This ester can also interact with other compounds to create interesting flavor effects.
For instance, about 1 ppm of cis-3-hexenyl acetate combined with 0.05 ppm of allyl isothiocyanate produces a distinct unripe banana flavor with green, fruity notes. At these low concentrations, neither compound shows a strong individual taste, but together they create a clear banana-like impression without noticeable mustard characteristics.

Product Application
Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate, also known as green leaf acetate, is a vital synthetic flavor & fragrance raw material. It delivers fresh grass, unripe fruit and green leaf aroma, widely used in food flavorings for beverages, candies, baked goods and fruit essences like apple, pear and grape. In daily chemicals, it is added to perfumes, body wash, shampoo and soap to create natural fresh green notes. It also serves as a premium aroma intermediate for high-end floral fragrances, and applied in tobacco flavors to boost fresh grassy scent, with low dosage and strong natural fragrance restoring capacity.
