Basic Info
Trans-2-hexenyl acetate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₈H₁₄O₂. It has a unique chemical structure, containing an acetate group and a trans-2-hexenyl structure in the molecule, which gives it certain physical and chemical properties.
From the perspective of physical properties, trans-2-hexenyl acetate is usually a colorless to light yellow liquid with a special aroma, such as a fresh smell often described as having a green fruity, floral or fruit-like aroma. Its physical parameters such as boiling point and melting point are closely related to its molecular structure. It is in a liquid state at room temperature and pressure and has a certain volatility.

•The food industry uses acetic Trans-2-Hexenyl Acetate as a flavoring. Its green fruit aroma, which is similar to that of apples and pineapples, can enhance the flavor of products. FEMA regulations limit its use to beverages (0.28 mg/kg), frozen desserts (0.40mg/kg), and baked goods (1.7mg/kg). It can be used to add flavor to milk products, fruit drinks, etc. By modulating the fruit flavor essence for example, you can simulate the fresh, moist taste in the citrus essence.
•Trans-2-Hexenyl Acetate is used in cosmetics because of its fruity aroma. The volatile and stable nature of this compound allows it to release fragrance continuously in the product. It can also provide a sense of hierarchy to the fragrance formula by providing a top note or middle-note.
•The acetic Trans-2-Hexenyl Acetate has a unique biological activity in the agricultural field. It has been shown in research that adding it into insect sex-pheromone preparations improves the lure effect. It can, for example, increase the lure by 150%-200% in dark gill bug trapping agents. The release pattern remains stable and lasts more than 30days. This synergistic result not only reduces chemical pesticides but also increases the range of trapping and has an important effect on pests like copper green turtles.
•Trans-2-Hexenyl Acetate is used in the tobacco industry as an essence ingredient to enhance the sensory quality. Blended with Tie Guan Yin Tea Aroma and other compounds, this compound can give cigarettes fruity qualities such as peach and citrus, enhance smoke layers, reduce irritations and impurities, and increase the persistence of the aroma.
•In research on food processing, it was found that acetic Trans-2-Hexenyl Acetate is one of the most important volatile components in the ripening of peach fruits. By adjusting the proportions of gases in the atmosphere, modified storage technology can increase the amount of this compound. This will improve the aroma quality of peach fruits, delay the loss of aromatic substances due to cold damage and maintain the natural flavor.
