Description and Uses

Valeraldehyde is one of the key volatile flavor compounds identified in cooked rice, beef fish meat and uncured ham. Its smell is described as fermented, bready, fruity, nutty, berry.It is an alkyl aldehyde used in flavoring Compounds, resin chemistry, rubber accelerators.

Valeraldehyde is mainly used for hydrogenation to Isoamyl alcohol and oxidation to valeric acid. It can also be used as a raw material for fragrances, resin chemistry, and rubber accelerators.
