chicken, cooked beef, beer, cognac, coffee, tea, peanut, Japanese plum, mango, walnut, prickly pear, pumpkin, oysters, lamb’s
lettuce and maté | [Preparation]
By aldolic condensation of propionaldehyde. | [Aroma threshold values]
Recognition: 290 ppb. Aroma characteristics at: 1.0%: ethereal and pungent acrylate and acetophenonelike, penetrating, irritating with a fresh green juicy-fruity nuance. | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: sweet, tangy, juicy fruit, cherry, almond, citrus and topical with a slight
penetrating burning sensation and jamy brown with an alliaceous sharpness. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
