Aldehyde C-16

Strawberry Glycidate

Aldehyde C-16, commonly known as Strawberry Glycidate, is a premium aroma chemical prized for its sweet, juicy strawberry, candy-like, fruity, and creamy aroma. Despite its name, it is not a true aldehyde but an ester widely used in perfumery to create realistic berry and fruity accords.

It brings a delicious strawberry character to floral, gourmand, fruity, tropical, and confectionery fragrances. Strawberry Glycidate blends exceptionally well with raspberry, peach, apple, vanilla, ethyl maltol, jasmine, rose, and creamy notes.
