1-Nonanal Key Features

Naturally fresh aroma

1-nonanal has a soft citrus and fatty aroma and is widely used in fragrance and perfume fixation and enhancement. It can be used in various fragrance types such as green, citrus, and floral.

Excellent chemical reactivity

As an aldehyde, it can easily enter into condensation, addition, and reduction reactions, making it a high-quality raw material for the synthesis of higher alcohols, higher carbonic acid compounds, and other compounds.

Compatible with a variety of bases

1-nonanal is highly compatible with common chemical bases such as oils, surfactants, alcohols, and hydroalcohol systems, making it suitable for fragrances, personal care products, and cleaning agents.

Used for simulating natural aromas

In food flavorings, it can be used to simulate the aromas of fruits such as lemon, orange, and grapefruit, and is also suitable for enhancing the flavor of fatty ingredients.

1-Nonanal Main Applications

Fragrances and flavors

1-nonanal is a typical raw material in the citrus and green fragrance system, and is often used in air fresheners, laundry detergents, and essential oils.

Organic synthesis

It can also be used as a chemical intermediate to synthesize long-chain alcohols, acids, and esters, and to prepare high-carbon chain fragments in agrochemical and pharmaceutical raw materials.

Daily chemical products

1-nonanal can be used as a fragrance enhancer and functional flavoring agent, and is commonly found in daily chemical products such as dishwashing liquid, hand soap, and shampoo.

Precautions

  1. 1-nonanal is easily oxidized, especially under light or high temperature, it will change color and produce an odor, and should be stored in a sealed, light-proof container.

  2. Aldehydes react violently with oxidizing agents and must be kept away from hazardous chemicals such as peroxides and strong acids.

  3. Excessive temperature will accelerate oxidation, while excessively low temperature may cause slight crystallization (which can be reversed by warming up). Therefore, a storage temperature of 2-8℃ is recommended.

  4. Its vapors may irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Experimental and production environments must be well-ventilated, and protective equipment must be worn.

  5. Oxidation in the air can lead to a decline in quality and the formation of acidic substances, affecting the aroma and reaction results. It is essential to seal the container immediately after use.

FAQ

1. How water-soluble is 1-nonanal?

It is insoluble in water but readily soluble in ethanol, oils, and many organic solvents.


2. What are the typical aroma characteristics of 1-nonanal?

It primarily features citrus, fatty, and green notes, and is a common base ingredient in many fresh and natural fragrances.


3. Will 1-nonanal oxidize and deteriorate?

Yes, aldehydes are easily and slowly oxidized in air. It is recommended to add antioxidants and store them in a sealed, light-proof container.
