Basic Info
Nonanal, an aldehyde containing nine carbons atoms, is a compound. The molecular structure of nonanal is CH3(CH2)7CHO. It consists of an octylalkyl group attached to an aldehyde (-CHO). It is a member in the fatty family of aldehydes. The carbon chain length, and functional group properties, give it an unique molecular structure among aldehyde substances. This determines its characteristics compared to short-chain or long-chain compounds.
Nonanal is a liquid that appears colorless or pale yellow and has a high degree of volatility. Its properties are very similar to most aldehydes. It is susceptible to oxidation, which results in a carboxylic acid. It can also be reduced to form alcohols. Its unique carbon structure and its basic chemical properties make it an important medium-chainaldehyde for organic chemistry.

Nonanal is an important ingredient in the cosmetics industry. The synergistic effects of the carbon chain and aldehyde group within its molecular structures are responsible for its unique aroma. The nine-carbon long chain provides a warm base while the aldehyde group adds a bright, diffused quality. This results in a citrus, rose-like fragrance that lasts much longer than shorter-chain aldehydes. Nonanal is added to perfume formulas at 0.1%-0.5%, creating a “fragrance triangle” that includes base notes such as musk, sandalwood, and a variety of other scents. The slow evaporation of the fragrance enhances the freshness and penetration of the top notes, while also supporting the layers of mid-and base notes. Nonanal’s chemical resistance to alkali as well as high temperatures is essential in soap production. It resists decomposition even at high temperatures, and keeps a stable concentration of fragrance for up to 12 months. This prevents fragrance loss. It provides a comfortable, complete experience for users, from cleansing through to long-lasting scent, enhancing cosmetics’ market competitiveness.


Nonanal is a highly effective flavoring agent in the food industry due to its low aroma threshold (perceivable between 0.05 and 0.1 ppm), as well as its natural mimetic properties. It reproduces the citrus fruit aromas of orange, grapefruit and lemon. Its molecular structure is very similar to the natural components of citrus aroma. After pasteurization, or sterilization at high temperatures, up to 50% of the fruity aromas are lost in juice beverage production. Nonanal, in the range of 0.08 to 0.12 ppm, can be added to the remaining esters and terpenes, which will reconstruct the entire fruity aroma system. This will preserve the beverage’s original flavor, while maintaining its rich, pure scent. It can be blended with ester flavors (such as ethyl-acetate) in candy to boost fruity notes, and with milky flavorings for a “fruity-milk complex flavor.” Nonanal can be used to enhance flavor depth in hard candy. For example, when combined with sweet orange oleoresin, it can increase the flavor intensity by 40%.
The versatility of the aldehyde groups and the flexibility of the long carbon chains are what make nonanal so valuable in the chemical industry. Through oxidation reactions in the presence of nitric or a catalyst, aldehyde group can be converted into nonanoic acids with a conversion rate exceeding 95%. Nonanoic acids are used as a raw material to prepare PVC plasticizers, such as dioctyl-azelate. These plasticizers resist low temperatures and aging, and are used in many fields including wire and cable as well as automotive interiors. Through catalytic hydrogenation and reduction, nonanal can become nonanol. Nonanal plays a crucial role in the synthesis nonionic surfactants, such as nonylphenol-polyoxyethylene-ether. These have excellent detergency in detergents and are dispersible in emulsifiers. Nonanal is also capable of participating in condensation reactions that lead to oximes or hydrazones. These derivatives can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates, adjuvants for pesticides and in other fields.
