Refractive Index (n20)	1.428-1.432

Chemical Properties

1. Hydrolysis Reaction
   • Under acidic or alkaline conditions, it hydrolyzes to (Z)-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol) and acetic acid:
   • Hydrolysis is more complete under alkaline conditions (e.g., NaOH solution).
2. Oxidation Reaction
   • May oxidize when exposed to air for long periods, causing aroma degradation. Store in a sealed, light-proof container.
3. Isomerization
   • The cis (Z-) configuration may partially convert to the trans (E-) isomer (E-3-hexenyl acetate) under high temperatures or strong acids, affecting aroma purity.

Application Fields

1. Food Flavorings
   • Core Use: Imparts a fresh green leaf, grass, or cucumber aroma to foods, widely used in:
     • Beverages: Juices, carbonated drinks, tea drinks (mimicking fresh plant notes).
     • Frozen Desserts: Ice cream, popsicles (enhancing "fresh fruit" flavor).
     • Condiments: Salad dressings, pickled products, instant noodle seasoning packets (boosting naturalness).
   • Usage Level: Typically 0.1-5 ppm (must comply with food additive standards like GB 2760).
2. Daily Chemical Fragrances
   • Applications:
     • Perfumes: As a top or heart note to create fresh, natural "green accords" (e.g., colognes, herbal fragrances).
     • Toiletries: Shampoos, body washes, air fresheners (mimicking the scent of freshly cut grass).
   • Blending Suggestions: Pairs with linalool, limonene, and linalyl acetate to enhance freshness; contrasts with floral notes (e.g., jasmine, rose) to add depth.
3. Industrial and Other Uses
   • Feed Additives: Used in small amounts to improve the aroma of animal feeds (e.g., aquatic feeds, simulating natural bait scents).
   • Biological Pheromones: Studies show it regulates the behavior of certain insects (e.g., aphids, beetles), with potential for biological control (experimental stage).

Safety and Storage

• Safety:
  • Toxicity: Low toxicity, oral LD50 in rats > 5000 mg/kg (practically non-toxic);
  • Irritation: Slightly irritating to skin and eyes; avoid direct contact;
  • Regulations: GRAS-certified by FEMA; complies with CLP classification (no hazard pictograms) under EU REACH.
• Storage Conditions:
  • Store in a sealed container in a cool (≤25ºC), dry, and dark place, away from oxidizing agents and alkalis;
  • Use promptly after opening to prevent oxidation from prolonged air exposure.
