Uses
3-Methylthiopropionaldehyde is a synthetic flavoring agent that
is a colorless to light yellow liquid with an intense meat odor. it
polymerizes with age and is stable in a 50% alcohol solution. it
should be stored in glass containers. it is used at low concentrations
for meat and broth flavors for applications in meats and condiments
at 3 ppm and in baked goods and beverages at 0.5 ppm. 3-(Methylthio)propionaldehyde, is used as food flavour ,for making Baked food, spices, soft drinks, candy. It is also used as an intermediate. It has wide applications in organic synthesis as solvents as well as reagents. They are used in the synthesis of specific compound classes include agricultural chemical, property-enhancing additives, pharmacological drugs, chemical resistant polymers, detergents, and rubber antioxidants. Some examples of aliphatic and aromatic thioethers found in flavouring agents
