2′-Methylacetophenone CAS 577-16-2 | Aroma Flavor Raw Material
2′-Methylacetophenone (CAS 577-16-2), also known as o-Methylacetophenone, is a classic aromatic ketone widely used in flavor and fragrance industries. It presents a warm nutty, sweet fruity and subtle roasted aroma. This versatile synthetic flavor monomer enhances rich baked and nutty sensory layers. Many formulators adopt it to modify and enrich flavor profiles in daily fragrances and food flavoring formulas. It maintains stable aroma performance in both food-grade and cosmetic-grade fragrance systems.
